Removing Front Fender Inner Liner Question
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to remove the passenger's front fender inner liner piece (behind the front wheel) without removing the wheel?
If you turned the front wheels all the way to the right stop, can that liner piece be removed without taking the wheel off?
I need to look under my battery and frame area for acid burns.
Thanks

Bud,,,,there no way to remove the inner fender well short of destroying it. Its actually glued to the frame. There is however a removeable section at the rear of the wheel wells that is held in with screws. There are some on the pannel and under the car. It can be removed without removing the tire but it aint fun. Without the tire being removed, your not going to get good access inside there.

So even if you turn the front wheels all the way to the right it's still a pain? I need to drive the car down for someone to inspect, and was hoping I could remove that access panel behind the wheel in the parking lot without removing the front passenger wheel.

I'm sure I can get the fasteners out ... but the question is, once the fasteners are out can that inner panel be removed with the clearance I'd have to work with while the front wheel is still on?
