I just got a 240sx hackback, but the left rear pretty much beated up, so i bought a new rear fender,
didn't know to remove and put it on. any guide, or video about it, would be great! thanks!

Did you buy new panels as in cut off another car or from dealer? or did you buy over fenders as in fiber glass panels that just go over the 1/4 panels

quarter panel. take out quarte glass, drill out every single spot weld that holds it on. can not be done without repainting. nothing i would suggest to try yourslef with no equipment or experience. sorry

They're not called fenders FYI. Fenders are on the front, the part that covers up the area surrounding the front wheel well. The part you're talking about is called a quarter panel, which unlike a fender is welded to the structure of the car and not bolted, hence not really user removable unless you know what you're doing. The quarter panels you bought do not replace the sheet metal on you car. Instead they go over it, hiding the damage from view.

^^^agreed and your going to need some new wheels or spacers for it to look the same...although its a cheaper sort of easier way to fix the 1/4s
