not sure if this is the right forum for this, but i couldnt think of which was was better. ok so hear my problem, right behind the front headlights on the left fender i had a small dent. it dented pretty close to the bumper so the crack between the bumper and fender is bigger now. how would i go about removing that plastic wheel well that we have? i need to get in there to fix the dent and this seems the best way to do it. thanks.

You would have a much easier time removing the fender so you can actually see what your doing

To remove plastic peices remove plactic clips numbers.......14, 9, 10, 13

Removing the fender is actually easier to remove than the plastic peices IMO. Remove bolts numbered as 8 one under the car, where you would jack it up, 2 inside engine bay on top of fender, 1 when you open your door, on the top will be a bolt, remove that also. Front bumper has to be removed to get to the bolt located near the headlight bolt

A couple tips for you...................................

1. Do not try and pry out plastic peices, it will easily break, trust me!
2. When and if you remove your fender, it is very easy to bend, and very easy to dent, use caution and take your time.

#10 is a screw, use a philips head to remove it

well i dont think i need to remove the entire wheel well. from that diagram and what i saw under the car all i need to really remove so i can get to what i need is one of those clips. from the diagram it seems like its #13. when looking in the left wheels well, its the clip right behind that bolt that holds the bumper for the fender.

and yeah, i can say that those things do break pretty easily lol. i tried prying it off with a flathead screw driver, and the top of it just popped right off but bottom is still stuck in there. its holding fine so thats good, sorta.

oh yeah, would you have any recommendations on how i could fix the dent without having to remove any of these parts? its on teh fender about 2 or 3 inches behind the front head light, and about half an inch above where the bumper and fender meet. its not really that bad, the part is flat now but since it was the fender it was curved before so its not pushed in. the main thing thats getting to me is that the bottom of the fender where it connects to the bumper was pushed down, so the gap between the bumper and fender is bigger now and although not noticable when driving, if someone looks close enough its quite visible.
