996 removal of front fender (wing in uk)

[jimparker65]

I'm replacing a damaged front wing (fender). There is what I believe to be the carbon canister at the back of the RH front wing (fender). Can anyone tell me how to remove this please so that I can get at the fixings at the rear of the wing.

Hi again Loren,

I got the canister off thank you but now I cannot remove the fender because the fuel filler assembly seems to be holding it. Can you help with instructions for removing this please.

I am not sure what you mean the fuel filter is not in the fender well.
