need to remove the inner wheel wells

[carl B]

Do I drill out the rivets or do the middles press out?

On the rear? If so the plastic clips just pry out and you can get the exact same ones new at NAPA.

 

[carl B]

Yes on the rear

Around the outside of the rear fender there are three of these rivets and then some more on the inside??

 

[carl B]

there is maybe a plastic clip on the inside??

I did not know about the rivets. I am thinking about the push clips on the inboard side - like the one right above the battery (there are more on the big portion of the driver's side and the passenger side.

You need to drill but be careful, the quarter is very easy to chip. I tapped the center in first with a punch to use as a pilot. Jerry

When you put the inner wheel well back again is it easiest if you heat it up a bit, then the plastic will bend and twist easier. (Wich is needed to get it in place)

 

[carl B]

how many rivets do I need to buy while I am here in the US???

BTW, you only need to drill out the front rivet, just behind the door.

Hi Joel,

How come??

Does the plastic pull off of the rest?

Yep, thats it, pull out all the plastic ones, drill out the front steel one, they it just pulls away from the other steel wheel arch ones..........also its easier to grind off the front one.
