need help replacing a fender
I am helping a friend fix a right front fender on an '03 F-150 Supercrew. We were lucky enough to find another replacement in a salvage yard that color matches so we will not have to paint it.
We are trying to figure what will have to be removed to get the fenders on and off. When the wheel well trim is removed, can we access everything? Or will the grill and headlights have to be removed?
I have searched the forum, but did not come up with a post for this
We are on a military post, so we will have to pay for time in the automotive shop bay, and we are trying to get a heads up to keep from wasting time there.
Is there a body assemby manual with a blowup of this?
Thanks,
Beri
