  • Update! Bent front fender brackets fixed

    Took me a total of a 1/2 hour or so but I was able to bend back the lower front fender brackets which made the fender line up nice with the doors. I went a head and removed the two 10mm bolts and the 1 plastic Philips screw underneath so I could pull the fender out a little. I pulled the fender out so I wouldn't scratch it plus it allowed me to get a better grip on the metal bracket. For safety I used some jack stands and placed them directly under some beefy steel bars (sub frame?). I also backed the car onto a few pieces of scrap wood to help raise it up a bit to be able to slide my floor jack underneath. The brackets were bent so bad that a socket wouldn't fit so I had to use a small wrench. I didn't have any vise grips so I used the biggest pliers I had [img]graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] The brackets bend fairly easy so it didn't take long.
