Question
I need to replace the deriver's side fender on my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Classic. How would i go about removing the old fender?

Answer
Nick...... First remove the wheelhouse flare if it has one...some are bolted on and some are riveted on. Loosen all the bolts attaching the fender from the fender apron under the hood.
Gently loosen all that is holding the fender on and pull the fender...gently...you will feel the resistance in a particular area and then you can go about figuring what to remove next.

Open the door and there is usually a mounting point that is accessible in the space between the fender and the door.

Good Luck
