According to the directions, you shouldn't need to remove the inner fender. It's been a long time since I did one of these. I don't remember having to remove it.

Let me know if you run into trouble.

Welcome back:

You are very welcome. For the life of me, I could not remember removing the inner fender. Anything to make the job a bit more difficult. LOL

Regardless, I'm glad it's fixed.

Take care and let us know if you have questions in the future.
