Fender Removal
Hi,
I have a 1993 F150, and am currently removing the front fenders for repair. I have all the bolts that I can see from the top out, but the fender is still in tight. Just wondering if anyone could give me some help at finding the rest of the fasteners. Do the headlights have to come out? Thanks

There are several bolts behind the headlight. YOu need to remove the grill, the grille support, and the lights.
There's a boatload of little screws for the inner fender liner to the fender lip. All of those have to come out too.
If you open the door 1/2 way and look in around the middle of the height of the door, you'll see one more bolt for the fender. That comes out too.
And finally, there is one bolt underneath the bottom of the fender right near the door, bolting the fender to the body. I would remove this one first actually, because it's possible to have the fender bend right there, if all the other bolts are removed. I usually take the top ones out last. Zap one back in loosely so the fender doesn't fall off and get bent up.
