Replacing inner fenders - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is it possible to replace inner fenders without pulling the fenders off? Or do I need to pull off the fenders?

Thanks, Rg

Just took mine off yesterday...fenders on. It takes some bending, but you can eventually take them out through the wheelwell intact.

NAW YOU DON'T HAVE TO PULL OFF YOUR FENDERS TO REPLACE YOUR INNERS. IT IS ALOT EASIER TO DO WITH YOUR TIRES REMOVED THOUGH.

Thanks Theo, I was hoping that was the case. Uhh, do you think they'll bend back in??

Pretty sure they will, but like junkyardjohn said, it will probably be easier with the wheels off.

RAGGEDJIM -- I'VE PROBABLY REPLACED AT LEAST 30 INNERS & HAVE NEVER DONE ANY WITHOUT THE FENDERS IN PLACE.

I second the removing tire Method.

Easy to do even with the wheels on in a confined garage, But would be much easier with wheels off. Not a problem GO FOR IT

Easy to pull off, even more fun to put back on, lol.

Thanks for the replies, I plan to do it when I get the new inners in the mail.
