    Default need to pull the fenders on my 240. anyone want to help or know of a place?

    so yeah, i have some 15x8 0-offset wheels with 225/50 tires on my 240sx. of course they stick out a bit and remind me of that whenever i hit a bump or go over a dip in the road too fast or with somone in the car. Ive never pulled fenders before and I know its hard to make them look decent so if anyone has the tools and wants to help or knows of a good place in savannah to have them done(although Ill most likely still try myself) or can just give me tips on the best way to do it let me know. i live in a dorm so i dont really have a good variety of tools. is it better to unfold the little lip out that goes inside the quarter/fender?

    thanks

    turn the wheels to the right, then with a 10mm (preferably a swivel but not necessary) and a long extension you'll remove i want to say 3 or 4x10mm nuts that hold the fender to the front bumper. then if you look behind the driver's tire on the bottom of the fender there is 2x10mm nuts and remove those. then open the driver's door and peek through the hinge and you'll see a 10mm at the top, in the middle,and at the bottom. then pop the hood and at the top of the fender is 3x10mm bolts, remove those and wiggle it backwards away from the front bumper and VOILA the driver's side fender comes off (you shouldn't have to remove the front bumper) repeat for the other side

    erm..... i believe he was simply talking about a roll and pull for his fenders, not removing completely. iirc autozone can rent you fender rollers and then all you would need is a heat gun to prevent your paint from cracking and your good to go.
