Inner Fenderwell removal.....

Pretty easy.......all bolts are 13mm for the passenger side (I'm assuming that's the side you wanna remove). 6 or 7 perimeter bolts, 3 front bolts that hold the lip brace on, 1 battery tray bolt, 1 bolt at the frame, and 1 angled upward towards the AC box.

Of course, that's how many you take OUT. I never put more than 3-4 back in. :D

..and once you have all the bolts out (I usually leave the topmost one for last), squeeze the two ends of the inner fender well together to make removal past the cladding a little easier.

D-side liner has more bolts due to ABS being bolted to it. I wouldn't remove the d-side one until the ABS was snatched out as it rests on the liner.

But, no......there's no need to remove anything else to yank the liner (not even the wheels in some cases).

my sy's were out when i aquired it and i couldn't wait to get them back in...you'll get crud all over the inside of the hood as well as the engine...i would remove them to work on it then put them back in...they also strengthen your front clip because they tie everything together...not to mention they look alot nicer when in...

edit: might be easier to remove the entire fender with fenderwell when you want to work on it...when i've done the plugs with the wells in, i just jack the truck up and access from under the well...

Morgan and I removed mine changing out the plugs. It took maybe 10 minutes extra but well worth not bashing knuckles

remove mine constantly....

i decided long ago to keep the pass side out....makes for easier tuning on the wastegate rod, plus now that I have an a2a, no worries about cutting....and it seems that my engine bay stays a bit cooler.

one thing though... I dont drive my truck in the rain. If you like a clean engine bay, you may want to consider keeping it in with minimal bolts.

plus, its not to healthy to have water spraying around on hot manifolds/turbo and DP.


If you plan to put it back, do like John said and "forgot" to put in a few bolts, it'll make life easy when you go to do it again.

just some misc info...


take all the bolts that hold the fender well in, and put them back in. This way, you wont ever lose the bolts and shit wont get caught up in the holes if you ever go back one day and put the wells back in.
