Is replacing a dented fender ( passenger side) easy enough to take on myself or should i leave it to a body guy. The replacement fender i have already is painted and just needs to be put on. Thanks for the feed back or any tips> CAR IS 97 GLE

 

Search. I typed in "fender" into the 4th gen search, and the 5th one down was this:

Indeed. I know I've posted a summary of the steps in at least two threads in the last month or two.

But alas, searching is apparently so extremely difficult to do, no one ever bothers, especially the newbies

 

I was the author of that thread And depending on where and how bad your dent is you can pull it out yourself, haha

All I had was a crow bar a few blocks of 2x4 and a few cans of Pepsi and a towel to wrap around the part of the crow bar where it meets the car and I managed to pull my dent out.

Although it doesn't look as good as it was before the accident, I had a crease right along the inner side of the fender leading all the way out to where it stops at the door and so replacing my fender was the only way to completely fix it, but I half-assed it and managed to pull 92% of the damage out, its pretty soft metal and I did it on a really hot day if that makes a difference

 

Pepsi?? The FSM clearly says to use Budweiser...

 

the fender has 3 bolts which are on top where the hood rets, 2 bolts all the way on the bottom 2 bolts between the fender and front door. and one bolt underneath the corner light.

 

Haha I don't think I can afford to be drunk doing such a delicate procedure
