Fender removal...HELP!

Help guys... I have the fender all but off but it seems to be hung up on the bottom behind the wheel. I removed the bolt down there but the sheet metal seems to be pinched in there. I gotta be missing something and I don't want to bend or force anything.


Thanks!

Re: Fender removal...HELP!

There are two bolts on the bottom near the door. The first is a 10mm that holds on another clip and the other is a 13mm that holds the fender to the body. The 13mm is normally folded over from someone jacking up the car in the wrong place. You will need to grab the folded area with pliers and try to bend it back down to access the 13mm..Very common issue

Okay, that makes sense, it is all munched right there from bad jack placement.


Thanks!
