2009 front fender removal and replacement

[Jackate]

I have a dented front fender that I would like to remove and replace with a new one and after take it to be painted by a professional. Does anyone know where I can find some how-to information, it looks like the black bottom molding has to be removed also to do this.

Thanks

Depending on the damage, it may be worth repairing.

Yes I want to repair it, that is why I posted my question. I would like to know where I can find some how-to information on removing the fender and bottom molding.

In your OP you said you wanted a new one, not repair the existing. The point being made is that it is possible you can repair the existing and avoid the whole process of removing it from the car. This may be cheaper since paint will be required either way.

Please learn to read. My OP says and I quote "I have a dented front fender that I would like to remove and replace with a new one".

Remove and replace being the English words you may be having trouble comprehending. Remove means to take off fender, and replace means to put on new fender. Then have professional paint and make nice again..

It is not repairable, I have sanded down the scrapes ect and repainted it for now but I need a new fender.

Have not even looked at it closely!! I wanted get some information on what has to be done or if any special tools or fasteners are needed! I am sure I can remove the fender but think it would be smarter to do it in a way that has been done hundreds of times before and documented so everything is removed in the right order. Obviously there has been no help on this forum.
SO :

I'll have to look at it closely and I will create a how-to document myself on how to properly remove the fender and bottom molding and replace it with a new replacement fender you can buy on-line for under 150.00 bucks.

if you have to "document" a fender removal you should probably leave it to someone who knows what they are doing! don't get hurt.
