    Was wanting to know if anyone out there might have some helpful advice on removing the inner front wheel wells? Upon looking around the fender inner and out, it seems like I'll have to remove the hood and the outer fender as well. I'm just curious if there's a way to get the inner wheel well out just by itself. Any helpful tips would be appreciated. Thank you. John Biggs. :)

    you don't need to remove the hood or fender. just remove the bolts on the inner fender above and below and it will come out. I just had the passenger side one out in my car to remove the AC and do a patch repair. firast time I had to do it and wasn't that hard, just take a little time to be careful and scratch the paint.

    What about the driver's side ? It's looking like the Brake mastercyl. / booster is going to be a problem being in the way. Thanks, John B.

    I don't see why the brake booster/master cyl. should be an issue as the wheel well drops down. Don't forget the two bolts that goes to the bracket which attaches to the frame on the rear side. Might be good to jack the car up on that side to clear tire.

    John,,

    I forgot you probably will have to take off the inner plastic splash shield held on by 3 screws or run the risk of cracking them!

    Got the drivers side out. No problems. The bracket that holds the inner fender that's attached to the firewall, I just turned it horizontal, tightened it, and will use it for a mount for my hurst roll control. Seems to all come together. :beers2: Thanks for the help. Much appreciated. John Biggs. :TU:
