Hi,
Take the bumper-cover off first- in this order: wheel-well screw, underneath the chassis screws, then the bumper retainer bar in front of the hood latch. Then crack the bolts in the wheel well which connect the fender to the body. It might be cheaper to get a body shop to repair a fender than a relacement, unless youre going for a wide body thing.


Hope This Helps!!!  Please Don't Forget to Rate my Response!!! Thanks!!!

Take off the tyre and remove the plastic inner fender first.

    Ginko Mar 17, 2009

    You will have to use tools to remove body parts, if you have not done this before, you may damage the old fender.

    Disconnect
    the swaybars and turn the axle fully, also turn the
    steering lock to lock position.
    Remove the tyre first.
    Remove the fender flare and plastic inner fender, then you have to use a tool to remove the fender.
    The Fender is a structural part on a jeep, this is a delicate job, and must be done by an experienced repairer.

Hi! In your case you have to read this STEP by STEP instruction how to replace fenders


  1. First, raise the front of the car and rest it securely on jack stands.
  2. Remove the front wheels (the fender can be removed with the wheels on, but you'll have limited access to the fender bolts -- we recommend removing the wheels).
  3. If you're removing the left front fender on a 1968 through 1973 model, unplug the horn wires and remove the horn. Don't hang the horn by the wires.
  4. Remove the bumper and bumper brackets
  5. First remove the headlights and turn signal lights and wrap the wiring up out of the way.
  6. Remove the nut, washer and bolt that attach the fender to the running board.
  7. Remove the bolts and nuts that attach the fender to the body.
  8. Remove the fender, the beading, and the rubber spacer between the fender and the running board. Note: The rubber bead has cutouts around the bolt holes (it doesn't have holes in it - just cut outs).
  9. Inspect the rubber beading and the rubber spacer washer. If they are cracked, dried, or deteriorated, replace them.

  10. Check the threaded holes in the captive nuts in the body and clean them up with a tap if necessary. Lubricate the bolt threads.
~~~ Fender Replacement -
  1. Place the fender in position against the body without the beading and loosely install one bolt at the top to support the fender.
  2. Now start the rest of the bolts. Tighten them just enough to hold the fender in position.Install a new rubber spacer washer between the fender and the running board, then install the bolt, washer and nut that attach the fender to the running board, but don't tighten yet.
  3. Hold the new beading around the body immediately above the fender, and mark (with chalk) the locations of the bolts. Cut slots in the portion of the beading the extends down between the body and the fender to accomodate the bolts, then push the beading into place with your hand. Make sure the slots in the beading slip over the bolts. Be extremely careful about the fit of the beading as you gradually and evenly hand-tighten the fender bolts a few turns.
  4. Gradually and evenly tighten all the bolts.
  5. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal. GOOD LUCK thanks

SOURCE: remove and replace both front fenders on my 1999

These are bolted from the inside of the car. There also is a plastic nut inside the flare that may spin so you will need a pair of vise grips or channel lock pliers to hold the nut.

My advise:
Don't replace them if they are faded and look ugly just get a hot air gun and hit them with that... but will only last a few months. The best solution is to get clean them with an alcohol based cleaner (Windex). Then use some newspapers and tape them off. Get a couple cans of flat black krylon fusion paint from walmart and paint them. This has lasted for 3 years for me now and they are still very black.

Replace washer pump

Although I am not too familiar with your particular model (I have a 96 Grand Cherokee), I have never heard of having to remove a fender to replace a washer pump on ANY vehicle.  The pump is usually attached to the bottom of the washer tank.  That tank can usually be removed with just a few nuts or screws and then you can get to the pump attached.
