My Brother and I went to the Junkyard today and ran out of daylight before we could figure out how to get a drivers side fender off of an 89 Cherokee Laredo. We took out the star head bolts from the top, front and back-(had to open the drivers door to get to them). It still seemed kinda stuck. Also took out the bottom two bolts that are right below the trim piece. The header panel was off already btw. What else holds the fender on?

Might be some inside the door jamb. I don't know specifically for Cherokees, I've never taken one off, but it's common for there to be bolts in the jamb.

bikerider

got those ones.

Where does it seem to be hanging up at exactly?

There are 5 under the hood. 2 in the door jab. Last take off your grill there are two screws that hold the fender to the front clip, take the nuts off the bolts and slide the fender out.

Theres a bracket in the wheel well at 12 o'clock

bikerider

kneeling exactly in front of where the drivers side wheel/tire should be?

TheJerm

yup, its under the inner fender plastic crap and shares a nut with the fender flare, on pre 97's.

can you get the fender to move around but come off the jeep all the way?

bikerider

yeah, that's what it felt like.

TheJerm

yea its that bracket then. You can peel back the inner fender at the top of the wheel well and should be able to feel it, just remove the one nut to the flare and it will come off

TheJerm

Oh theres also one at the bottom in the front of the fender, in the front of the wheel well. It bolts to a little bracket that supports the air dam and lower corner of the fender

I did see that one, but failed to mention in my op. Thank you so much for the help. As well as everybody else. This is just what I needed, fast answer to a question.
