2001 996 cabriolet right fender removal

[Adrgon]

Need a little help. I hit a deer this weekend and did some damage to right from corner of my 2001 996 cabriolet. I need to replace the headlight and fender. I have found the parts locally and now I need details for removing and reinstalling the bumper cover, headlight and fender. anybody have details of the process???

The bumper cover and headlight are covered here in both the DIY Tutorials and DIY Videos.

Once you have those removed (along with the wheel well liner) the fender basically unbolts. Couldn't be easier.

Loren, what about the fuel filler, anything special about it?

[Loren]

Yes, the charcoal canister and fuel door solenoid are also covered in a separate DIY.

Remember this is just a giant erector set (oh... might be dating myself with that).

Everything is pretty un-bolt and un-fasten and then reverse the process.

This would be a good time to clean any accumulated debris from between your radiators and air conditioner condensers.
