front fender removal

[frohawker]

I'm trying to make my (eng/tranny-less) new CB look a bit better and have a donor car. well i tried to take of the front pass. fender last week on my day off and was nearly there till i realized there was still the bottom bolt. my question is whether or not i need to completely remove the side skirt to remove the bottom bolt of the fender.

there is no other way around it. u can try to let it hang from the front.

Sideskirts need to come off with my past experiences with other cars.

sideskirts are pretty flexable i just pulled mine down and stuck the handle of a screwdriver to hold it down while i took the bolt off

Yep they beat me to it but that's what I normally do. Get a pry bar or something and hold it down and you can get straight in there. I'm late but glad you got it done.

1 effin bolt

So I bought my cb 2 years ago and for 2 years its had the same ugly beat up drivers side fender the only reason I havet taken it off and poped it back into shape is b/c there's 1 bolt in the front on the bottom of the fender this area had gotten slightly dented in so now the bolt is not reachable

No you don't need to remove the whole side skirt you can have some friends or family help you to pry it down so you can get a ratchet with an extension and a 10mm socket in there and get it off. I just replaced mine and i practiced on the other fender of the car I didn't need at a junkyard where i got the fender to make sure I wouldn't fuck my car up putting it back on. It just takes a little muscle but be careful to not do any permanent damage.

Is it the one bolt that looks it takes a phillips screwdriver if so then this should work,in inside of the engine bay there is a nut or a bolt,if you don't have the stock air box or battery in the way you can get to it and take the fender off that way.
