Step 34. Using a cutoff wheel or sawzall cut the lines made on
the fender. Cut only the horizontal lines from inside
of the fender to the vertical line drawn. Use caution
when cutting. Do not over cut or cut into surrounding
areas.
Step 35. Using pliers bend the cut fender well lip out. Bend
only one section at a time. Bend the lip out so that it
creates a flat, even surface, flush with the outside of the
fender.
Step 36. Using a heavy hammer bend the tabs inward. The tabs
should start at the line drawn and should be bent
inward 90 degrees towards the fender well duplicating
the factory bend.
Step 33. Mark the front section of the rear wheel well for cutting.
Starting at the bottom of the vehicle draw a vertical
line maintaining a 1 3/8” distance from the wheel well
opening towards the front of the vehicle continuing the
line vertical to the bottom of the door at the crease.
From the crease at the bottom of the door, taper the
line half way up to 1 1/8”. Continue the line vertical
tapering to 1/8” stopping at the top of the body
moulding. Make multiple horizontal marks
approximately one to two inches apart.
