Inner Wheel Well Install

turnerms98 · January 16, 2011

So I had originally put aftermarket wheels on my Silvy. After running them a few months I decided that I didnt like them. I had to trim some of the inner wheel well when I had the wheels on. Now I want to install new wheel wells. I know they are mostly held on with push pins and a couple of screws, but it also seems that there are some electronics under the hood that are screwed through to the wheel wells. Anyone know how to get these off so I can get the new ones on?

I installed two sets of aftermarket type and had no problems...first set took about 20 min...second for My Son about 10...both 2010 and no wiring on the stock vehicles came into play...the only screws are on the quarterpanel wheel opening and are already drilled from the factory

I could have sworn that when I tried doing it in the summer that there was a blue type screw from the enging bay that was somehow connected to the inner wheel wells. I will try again when it warms up some.

I'm talking rear wheels...fronts shouldn't need them...they are on from factory

I had to trim the fronts due to wheel backspacing. That's why I am trying replace the fronts that I trimmed.

the only electrical attached is by "christmas trees" its basically a push pin coming through the top, just pull them out as you get it loose

I put the factory rear wheel well liners and there is a wire on each side that gets mashed up behind the liner. I didn't try to figure out how to disconnect & reconnect and the factory instructions didn't say anything about it but I worry a little that the wire might get chafed rubbing behind the liner.
