Step 6: Unbolt the four bolts holding the back of the fender to the body tub and remove what is left of
(Fig E) Keep these bolts, they will be re-used with the new fender. You should no only have the
inside fender left. ( Fig G)
Step 7: Position the fender on your vehicle by placing it over the inner fender (Fig H) and line up the front
bracket with the oem grille and loosely attach using the factory bolts previously removed. (Fig J)
Line up the rear of the fender with the body tub and loosely attach the previously removed inside
bolts. (Fig I) Check to make sure you have a gap underneath between the inner fender and your
new fender. (Fig K) If it is rubbing anywhere, use a grinder on the inner fender to grind it down
to make clearance for the fender. Due to variance in vehicle tubs if a hole is slightly off you can use
a die grinder in order to open up the holes in the fender. Once you have the fender in the correct
position tighten the bolts. NOTE: You may need to trim the battery tray so the fender clears.
