I really suck at searching, every search always brings up a million posts! So, if it's been covered could someone point me in the right direction?
If not, how much is involved in replacing front fenders on a 1992 F250? Is it as easy as it looks, just removing all the screws? I'm sure there's more to it, but I'm wonder if there is any welds that need to be cut off to get it out.
Any help is appreciated!

 

Simply unbolt and bolt back in procedure. Start by propping the hood up with a board. Do one fender at a time to keep things square. Unbolt the spring from the inside of the fender. Unbolt the coolant resevour and washer resevour from the fender and set it aside upright. Remove the battery and tray and unbolt everything from the inside of the fenders, but make sure you know where everything goes. Remove the grill and the headlight buckets. They have 2 screws on top and then there are studs and bolts that you need to access from the inside of the rad support. They should be relatively easy to find. Once they are out, you can either remove the entire header panel or you can just loosen it enough to move it out of the way. There are studs on the header panel that line it up by going through holes in the fronts of the fenders. If you can move the header panel out enough to get the fender out then you dont need to remove the panel. Unbolt the header panel from the fenders too. Unbolt the inner fender wells from the fenders. Unbolt the valence panel underneath the grill from the fender and remove the little dirt guard that is push clipped to the corner where the valence and fender meet. Now you can start unbolting the fender. There is one bolt on the very bottom of the fender behind the wheel well, one inside the fender that you have to access with an extention from in the door jamb with the door about 1/3 open. Thats the toughest one to get to but it comes out. There are two bolts on the top of the fender inside the engine compartment and there are 2 or 3 bolts that secure a bracket to the fender that connects the fender and the rad support. If I remember right there may be one bolt on the bottom of the front of the fender but Im not sure. The fender should come right out then. Its pretty heavy so if your worried about scratching anything up, you may want someone to help you fenaigle it out. Get your jack, lug wrench and everything that secures them from the passenger side fender and put it on the new one. Dont forget to get ALL the clips from the fenders because the new ones wont come with them unless you got them from a donor truck. Put the fenders in and bolt everything back up. Good luck!

 

Thanks much! I owe you a beer if you're ever in Milwaukee!
