thejum57 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 How do the plastic flares come off of the fender? I only feel 3 "screws? " and they don't seem to have nuts on them. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 There should be studs with nuts on them every few inches inside the wheel well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 There are three steel retainers each with three threaded studs. The nuts (10mm??) may have sunk past the plastic inner fender splash guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvagedcircuit Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 The three steel retainers have (3) M6 studs welded on each. The fenders are held in by 10mm M6 flanged head nuts. Make sure to use PB blaster on these studs if you are trying to disassemble. The studs commonly shear clean off on nut removal and you are left with no way of re-mounting the fender flares, unless you have a stud welder. If you get lucky, apply anti-seize. This advice need not apply to residents of arizona or southern california. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
