How do you replace front fender on a 2000 Ford Ranger?

Answer 1

It is an easy task to replace the front bumper on 2000 Ford Ranger. Follow the below steps.

1) Take off the old bumper first, and get underneath the front end of the Ranger and find the row of 12-millimeter bolts along the back side of the top of the fender. Remove them using a ratchet and a12-millimeter socket.

2) Locate the two metal bracket arms that extend from the fender to the frame of the Ranger. There are two 14-millimeter bolts holding each bracket arm to the frame. Have someone there to hold the weight of the bumper before you remove the bolts and nuts, because the bumper will fall down once the bolts are removed. Remove them with a ratchet and 14-millimeter socket.

3) Hold the new bumper up to the Ranger's front end and guide the metal bracket arms to the frame. Line up the holes in the arms and on the frame. Insert the 14-millimeter bolts into the holes and tighten the nuts on the back side of them using the 14-millimeter socket and a ratchet.

4) Insert and tighten the row of 12-millimeter bolts along the top edge of the back side of the bumper using a ratchet and 12-millimeter socket.
