Front bellows removal??
I would like to replace the front bellows on a Carrera. I did a "search" on this and am still a little confused. Can the bellows be replaced without removing the front bumper?
Thanks. |

I don't think so. I recently replaced mine when I had the bumper and valance repainted. They are bolted to in at the front of the vehicle, and had to be slid off toward the front.
Pulling the bumper isn't hard at all, especially for what you intend when you don't have to disconnect all the electricals. One note, the VERY small diameter bolts snapped right off when trying to remove the rusty nuts, but that doesn't really matter for what you intend.

Remove the front wheels and you should have access to all the screws. Soak them with some penetrant for a while first.

Okay, maybe my memory is a little foggy here. I thought I was able to get them off before-hand when I did my smile. Can't remember now.

Just did this.....
Need to first remove the metal panel behind the bellows that forms the edge of the fender ( two sheet metal screws pointing up...two pointing down. Once this metal panel is gone....the bellows are then accessable... Wil
