change a fender

ANNR · 01-04-2007, 12:39 AM

i have a 1998 Toyota corolla. It has a busted driver side fender.

I took it to the near car shops trying to get the fender changed. but the cheapest one is 80USD per hour and they told me it will take half hours to change.

I am short of money so I want to change the fender my self but don't know how. can someone please let me know to change the fender step by step? what are the tools that i may need?

I think i need to take out the front bumper first before i can change the fender but don't know how to take out the bumper too. there are these plastic things that looks like screws that keeps the bumper in place, how do i take this out? cut it? where can i get the replacement so i can put it back once the fender is changed? there is a plastic things located in the middle top of the bumper when i open the hood.

there are also these plastic things behind the front wheel of the fender, how do i take these out?

please help me if you know how. I will be taking the driver test soon so i need to get it fixed.

thanks everyone.

you just unscrew it, and screw the new one on

the high cost of having it changed it for painting, not installation

see if you can get one that's pre-prepped for paint, and have it painted somewhere, and then all you'll have to do is screw it on
