Loosen the wheel lug nuts, then raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands before removing the front wheel. Remove the fasteners retaining the fender inner splash shield, and if applicable, carefully drill out any plastic rivets used for some of the inner fender fasteners, as replacement push-pin fasteners are available at most auto parts stores and dealership parts departments. Next, remove the front
Bumper cover and the headlight housings, followed by the fender mounting bolts and the fastener securing the fender to the support. Detach the fender, ensuring that an assistant supports it while being moved away from the vehicle to prevent damage to the surrounding body panels. Installation is the reverse of removal.
