Question
I have a new driver side fender to replace on my 97 Nissan pickup 2.4L 4wd. There are two bolts on the front covered by the bumper and one bolt under the panel thats below the windshield. I can't figure out how to get to those bolts. What has to come off and how to get it off. Thanks for the help.

Answer
I am not exatly sure ,b ut quite a few vehiles have bolts that are very hard to reach. Sometimes the one side of the hood has to be removed and the bumper alot of the time you have to take the headlight out in order to get to them. The plascit shroud on the inside of the wheel well need to come out as well. This may give you a better reach. Try using sockets with wobble extensions to reach. Sorry I can't be more help. When all else fails, ask the dealer.
