'96 850 fender crunched, how hard to replace?

Post by Guest »

My '96 850 passenger side front fender got crunched. I think I can get a replacement at a local salvage yard that is the same color.

How hard would it be to remove and replace. What should I watch out for? Would any year model fit or which years?

Has anyone done this already?

'95 and newer should fit w/o problems. '94 requires different bolts. It's not real tough to replace the thing. I've never done it, but I've been told that its a pretty straight forward procedure.

The yard will remove the one that they own so you know where the fasteners are located

Thanks for the replies and the info. Sounds like something I can tackle. It may take a few weeks, but I'll post back the results of my project.
