A n00b with some questions.

Alright, I have an '02 OZ Lancer. And there's a dent on the driver's door, and the driver's side fender.(The dent is where they meet) How would I remove the door? How would I remove the fender? I probably could figure out the fender on my own, but with the door there's all of the wiring.

Anyone have experience with this? Or could you guys point in the direction of any books to pick up?

Thanks in advance!

As for the fender there was just a write-up on it.

As for the door, can't be too hard.
I've never done it but I'm sure the service manual will help.

The 2003 manual is the one you need, it's the same as the 2002.

One of the fender bolts is stuck, and I'm in the process of removing it. Is there a place where I can find replacement ones? I've searched online without any luck.

Alright, I can't get the stuck bolt out. This is driving me crazy, it already was stripped before I tried to remove my fender. I tried to use a grab-it, but my drill couldn't get it to budge. I've tried wd-40, and I let it soak to no avail. Anyone have an idea on how I can remove the bolt, without f$%^ing up my car?

Vise Grips!
Get them very tight and turn that S***!
You could also get a propane torch and heat it up.

Pipe wrench works wonders on stripped bolts too if you have the room.

You could never go wrong with a breaker bar if you had enough space, it makes loosening bolts a breeze and use PB Blaster. It seems to work better for me than WD-40.

for the bolt, clamp some vice grips to the head and turn it loose.

for the door you will see the black harness going into the frame. if you pull out that harness lightly it will expose a clip where the door harness clips into the frame harness. then two bolts holding the door hinge to the frame. remove them and your done.. note, you might want a second person holding the door so it doesn't smash your foot.
