How hard is it to relplace a drivers side front fender. Also about how much do you think a junkyard would charge me for a fender? Is there any welding involved in the fender installation? I think I have an understanding of how to install the fender, I just want to clear any issues up. Also if the fender is all bolt on, will I have to line anything up or should the bolt holes lines everything up good?

Replacing a fender isn't too difficult. You basically unbolt everything attached to the fender, which means you have to remove your front end, the stone deflector, the side gfx, and the hood hinge. If you're careful and you have help, you can get away with not removing your hood completely. Just unbolt the side you're working on, and lift the fender off. Just be careful you don't bend your hinges. I removed mine, and I'm still in the process of painting the replacement, so I've yet to do an installation, but the removal isn't bad, and the installation should be easier now that I know what I'm doing ahead of time. The fender itself just bolts up.

Why mess around with junk yard ones when you can get a nice fitting keystone replacement for $75 new?

Get a GM fender for a perfect fit I don't recommend using aftermarket body parts due to fit issues.

I didn't think anything else had to come of? But come to think about it the front end might have to come off. I am sure you can get to the bolts without removing the hood and door. Try to open up the door and fit a socket in that way. Before installing the new fender, I would go ahead and paint the inside of it to seal it up. Even a spray can would work good.
