Default Fender Liner Replacement

As the title suggests, I am going to replace one of my fender liners (front passenger side) this weekend and am wondering if anyone else who has completed the task can offer me any insights.

A lot of times with these liners, it is MUCH easier to do in a very specific order and being that I have never done one, I would love it if someone who has experience would share. Thanks guys.

Replaced my driver side , after you get the tire off it takes about 30 minutes to take out and reinstall new one very simple Maybe 6 screws and 2 or 3 nuts, 8mm socket and #6 star driver ,(i may be wrong on the star driver size) hope this helps

This sounds about right.. I took mine out to pop off the side strakes. It only takes a few minutes. very simple

That is an interesting idea, when I put my custom strakes on I just released the clips on the OEM ones from outside....

So what happened to the "old" liner?
Hit something?

I think it was a really nasty pothole, that I crept through. The old one is bent slightly and my 20 on the front on one side is rubbing. The neighbor is a body guy so I got the part at cost through his shop, rather than try to rebend mine, I am just going to replace it.

How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking. I need to replace mine on the passenger side as well...then again, it is way down the list in priorities of things to do...probably because I don't have 20"s on mine haha.

I paid him $73 for the part, and he said it is something like $100 retail, but I did not verify this fact. I am going on in the garage to jack her up right now, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Howard, you were not kidding, this install was pretty easy.

It was more of a pain in the *** to roll out the jack, impact gun, etc and get the wheel off than the 6 or 8 screws and bolts, everything is very straightforward - easy install.
