  Q: How to service the front fender on Ford Thunderbird?

  A:

  You should start servicing the front fender by eliminating the front Bumper cover combined with the front fender splash shields. Start by removing bolts that retain the bumper cover bracket while also removing the bracket itself and then remove the bolt situated at the radiator grille opening panel from the front fender. The door will suffer damage unless a proper bolt is installed at this specific location. Access the fender hole first to remove one front fender mounting bolt. Afterward, remove a bolt which passes through the door compartment. The next procedure involves removing the front rocker moulding pin-type retainers then putting the front rocker moulding somewhere aside. You should remove the lower front fender bolts but only after you install a proper prop rod that supports the hood and detach the lower hood assist strut. The front fender will be detached after the removal of three components that include the hood assist strut ball stud and the front fender to radiator grille opening bolt and also the remaining front fender bolts. The procedures for installing everything can be completed by reversing all actions originally used for removal.
