I changed the right-front fender on our 1982 240D/3.0 in the parking lot of Silver Star Recycling in Rancho Cordova, CA, while we were on vacation a couple of years ago. No problem taking the old fender off nor putting the new one on. When I replaced my hood hinges, I had to take the fender off because I needed to run a tap down the tapped hole in the body and couldn't get the tap started straight with the fender on.
