I appeared to miss a plastic clip. You need to yank on the fender
to dislodge the clip so you can gain access behind it to retrive
your retaining blocks. At the sametime this might be a deciding
moment for you to simply remove your inner fende wells. I personally
like the look of them, but others do not due to their ability to
hold unwanted dirt and debris. |
Looking at the inner fender well there are two plastic tabs sticking
out that hold the inner fender in place. |
I grabbed a pair of needle nose pliers and a regular screw driver.
I applied a slight bit of pressure with the needle nose and using
my screw driver I drove the plastic tab inside the tub. |
These are the retaining bolts or screws depending on how technical
you want to get. The one on the left is the one that screws directly
into the tub while the one on the right requires the plastic retaining
block to be held in place in the tub. |
After pushing the black tabs in I simply pulled the inner fender
flare down and located my retaining blocks. As I pulled the retaining
blocks out I paired them up with their respective screw to insure
I wasn't missing any. I would be gentle with the inner fender so
the retaining blocks do not get lodged up anywhere. |
Side shot of the inner fender pulled down. Hey do you think this
would be street legal as it is? I think even if it was the many
holes on the side of the tub would drive me nuts. |
Place fender on the tub and thread in the self taping screws loosely
so you can wiggle the fender into the remaining holes as you install
the screws and retaining blocks. |
I must admit installing the retaining blocks behind the fender under
the inner fender wells was no fun. At times I thought I was going
to cut my hand off squeezing it behind the inner fender flare. The
price I paid to keep the inner fender flares. |
Rear fender installed. I must say its really weird looking at it.
The rear fenders look huge. They however compliment very well. |
I really didn't detail the front fender removal or installation
very well. It was a really simple removal and installation. The
front used both self taping and retaining blaocks. |
To make the install easier I would recommend removing of each screw
and placing them in a line on the ground so you know, which screw
goes in which hole. |
Becareful with your old side markers. You will use them in your
new Warn fenders. |
To remove your front side marker use a 10MM wrench and loosen
and remove the single nut on the backside of your side marker. Simply
transfer it over to your new Warn fender flares and tighten. |
This is what the new fenders look like on the front. In the way
they look way out of place to me. Every time I look at them I think
of that Disney Dumbo the flying elephant character. Then again Im
used to having a narrow fender and watching my tire stick out over
an inch. |
This is what the new Warn fender looks like with the plastic thingamabob.
I would like to replace that with a wider one, but what do you call
it? As well who makes them? |
Differenct angle. Ive considered removing the old plastic extension,
but Im sure there will be some mounting holes that will either need
to be covered with some rockers or somebody filler. |
