Rust Question??
This is probably a common problem, I have just not had to face it before. In the front wheel well, behind the front tires, is what looks like an inspection plate with 3 bolts (and some spot welds) keeping them in place. Mine have rusted through.
 I thought it would just be a matter of unbolting them and replacing with some good ones from the yard or parts dept. But the spot welds had kept me from getting them off without messing them up pretty good.  What is the recommended fix? <p> Thanks! ~ Smitty |

Re: Rust Question??
That plate is part of the inner wheel well and is not an inspection cover. Inner wheel wells are cheap enough that I would replace the complete wheel well.

Re: Rust Question??
Yep, that's what I thought after seeing that it was spot welded from the factory. Kinda wonder why they are even there?? Sure created a breeding ground for rust though.
I will just replace the inners. Thanks!
