DIY Fender Removal?
I'm waiting on my lambo door kit to arrive and i decided to see how difficult it would be to take off my fender. Well I am having a bitch of a time getting the top bolt off, next to the door. I put all of my might into it and got nowhere.
For everyone else who has removed the fender and/or installed vertical doors, how did you get that bolt out? It is on TIGHT!!! Impact gun? I just don't know how an impact gun would fit in that tiny space.
Thanks everyone.

i just used an open ended wrench and some elbow grease to get that bolt off..
or did i use a socket wrench with a small (1.5") extender on it...
it is a bitch getting the bolts behind the door off though..

Are you referring to the top bolt in the door jamb? If i remember correctly, i might have squeezed in a socket with an extention. It wasn't too hard to get off for me, but getting those black tabs out from the door jamb was a total b*tch..

The ricer in me just couldn't resist getting the lambos. lol
i wouldve sold you my lambo kit for like 500, how much did u pay?
btw youll never use an impact gun on body work.
and that bolt is easy, get a 1/4" drive ratchet with an extension and a short 10mm socket on it open the door and take off the bolt. btw its alot easier to get at that bolt once u got the kit on and door open
