Hey yall I'm parting out a 92 Accord LX and before I can post all my goodies in the classifieds I need a few posts in the tech section. Thought that as many times this question shows up in search, it might be a good topic for a quick how-to article!

Sorry the pictures are so big Im not quite savvy enough to resize them.

Start by un-screwing the lower fender flare that is also attached to the rocker panel covers





Then separate the inner fender along the outside edge of the wheel well by unscrewing the plastic screws and then pulling the whole fastener out





Unscrew the 2 screws that attach the bumper cover to the fender





Slide the clip out between the bumper cover and fender





Pull the bumper cover down slightly just enough to expose the bolt head holding the directional to the fender 10mm





Fold back the inner fender enough to reach your arm in between the inner fender and bumper cover to remove the next bolt just underneath the last one, also 10mm





If you are in the rust belt like me, do whatever it takes to get this little bolt/screw out. I have one of those screw drivers shaped like a Z that would have worked if it wasn't so rusted in. There is a way to get to the other bolt that holds this bracket on, but you would have to either remove the air intake on the passenger side or make room behind the cruise control on the drivers side.





Then take out the easy to see 3 bolts along the top, 10mm





Open the door to get to the top fender bolt, I started this with the ratchet but only had enough room to remove it with an open end wrench 10mm





Lower fender bolt still with the door open but accessed from the front side of the door





And the last bolt is under the rocker covers which might be hiding really bad structural rust if you are in the rust belt!





Start by pulling the back of the fender up





Then pull back on the front and up to separate it from the directional





There you have it!






Happy wrenching everybody! Hope this helps someone
