Well Done Dan! As an ole NASE certified mechanic from late 70's and early 80's, I always enjoy brushing up the rust by watching a contemporary guy to remind me what I am suposed to remember or know! Thanks, Lee, NE Florida
Great, informative, college-level video. Sure, long, but that's how it's supposed to be done. Not rushing it. Definitely let me know what the DIY job will entail. Working on a Suzuki Kizashi. Thanks.
So, my car is in the shop. My insurance told them to order and after marker fender. It came in and the adjuster went back to see that it didn't fit. So I was called by the repair shop and they said I will be waiting another 14 days for it to arrive. So I told them I may as well pick it up and bring it back. (I drove it no problem for a few days before I brought it in). They said I can't because they took it apart and now it is not drivable. Are they trying to avoid an hour of work and hassel so I could be without transportation for two weeks or are they being reasonable?
Fantastic video, so helpful thanks! Just wondering if it might have been easier to leave the fender wall on except at the rear where you needed to access that one bolt? I didn't see any other fixture points on that fender that had to be accessed behind the fender wall.
Anyone know if a 96 galant fender will fit a 2000 galant? I found a 96 galant in great shape with a blown motor for a parts car. Oo ly $150 bucks. Just hoping the parts I need will fit mine.
If you pause it @38 seconds...that's my 2001 Nissan Sentra...funny it was all the way up there in Philly 3 years before I owned it. Weird. Anybody have any advice on dealing w clips that hold a bumper up. I had an accident on the rear bumper and fender....now there is a slight droop of the bumper from where the Fender was damaged. I'm wondering if I go thru all the effort of replacing both my self from a junk yard (Pull a Parts)....will I still have a problem w the clips? The fender got pushed in above and you can see the clips. Its not horrible....but I'm just don't want to go thru all the effort to fix this then realize I can't get the clips to hold everything nice and "tight" like it was before I got in an accident. Also....he's right about the color match....I already looked at another white Nissan Sentra and it's not the same color. I hope I don't have rivets or that the paneling beneath bumper is damaged.
Great video! Only negative was once you disconnected the wire to the turn signal couldn't you have just laid the headlight unit down just above the mounting area with the wiring still attached? It would have saved a lot of time. Then again maybe I might be a little impatient... What brand and model impact screwdriver were you using??
Thank you Dan Reed. For convincing me id rather pay somebody to do it, lol. Quick question though.do you think that this particular fender was especially hard to remove because it was n audi? Because ive heard german cars are harder yo repair, n I have a Mitsubishi eclipse 03 gts n it doesn't seem like it will be as difficult. Do u think it makes a difference? Thanks
You'd rather pay $500-1000 to have someone else do this when it was $100 and less than an hour of work even with the time he took to explain what was going on? Strange.
Sure hope he knows how to put it all back together because he looked to have a hard time just getting the blinker light out, first trying to unscrew it then snapping it out of the clip.
As a result of this video I will be taking my car to a body shop, you did not make this look easy at all, if I had a lift, a shit load of tools a heated garage and a cool uniform like yours with some experience then I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem but brother you made this seem hard
It's good that you know your limits. The man in the video did a great job making a holistic informative video that covers everything possibly involved. It's a great video
Though helpful in a way I have an A4 avant german spec. I have to remove the entire damn running board and essentially disassemble the entire driver's side of the car. I really hate audi engineers
Why disassemble the headlight? Just remove the damned thing to get the fender off, wrap it in a towel/blanket to set it aside nearby, and put it back after the fender is replaced. I bet he charges $1000, too. And no gloves? Guess he likes dirty hands... All his digging around the wheel well is a joke. A frigging Haynes manual will show you where to work. Take 30 minutes to look it up, plan the work, and BOOM... you're done...
It is painfull to watch him unplugg the headlight... You are supposed to push it in and then click it out. Hell, you don't even need a screwdriver to do this!

where, or how did you find the replacement part ?
I found mine at a friends junkyard
Cool. I plan on replacing a fender due to rust...
It's a nice video, but it really needs to be edited down quite a bit.
It's not bad on 2X speed.
Great video! Only negative was once you disconnected the wire to the turn signal couldn't you have just laid the headlight unit down just above the mounting area with the wiring still attached?

Was a Lysle impact driver.
the smoke coming from the intro is like a school?

Anyone notice him trying his best to take apart the headlights lmao uses his leg and both arms

I have a dent near my lights that I was hoping to fix but after watching this I think I will just pay the $500 to the mechanic. Painful to watch.
Why is that mustang running hot...Lol
I felt like ages passed while watching.
I've had shorter holidays
Wear gloves you never get a girl with those hands
