5. Remove the three bolts that attach the stock
fender to the grill. Set these bolts aside, they
will be re-used to mount the DeFender™.
6. Loosen the bolts that attach the fender to
the firewall. Thread them most of the way
out but leave them in for now. This will allow
you to move the fender around slightly during
the next few steps. You may find that you
need to remove these bolts entirely in order
to proceed during the cutting process.
7. Use a measuring tape and fine tip felt
marker to place a cut line along the top
surface of the fender, 1-1/4” from the vertical
flange as shown in the photo.

8. At the back of the fender, end your cut line
at a point even with the back side of the
grille, and turn it inward toward the vertical
flange. At the flange, continue your cut line
forward, along the crease where the fender
sheetmetal curves downward to mate up with
the side of the grille. See the photo below for
reference. The cut line will continue forward
but we will come back to it in a later step.
Note that there will be a small portion of the
vertical flange that will be removed, as shown
in the photo.

9. At the back of the fender, closer to where
it joins the firewall, trace a line that begins
1/4” from the vertical flange and continues
forward, parallel to the outside edge of the
fender, to where it joins with the previous
line. The resulting cut line should look like
the one in the photo below.

10. Continuing at the front of the fender,
continue the cut line along the front of the
fender adjacent to where it meets the grille.
Continue the cut line downward until it
reaches the edge of the fender. Place a rag
or other suitable object between the fender
and the grille to space it apart to gain access
to the cut line with your cutting tool.
