Cool how to remove inner fenders

I want to remove them to clean them up, plus it will prob be better for cleaning eng block. Pros/cons and how long i can leave inner fenders off. What can happen if off?
Would love to run trailer fenders. Thanks.

Re: how to remove inner fenders

they shouldnt stay off for any extended period of time they protect the motor from road debris etc.and they control air flow and cooling too. Leave them on if youre driving the truck..

They are easier to take off than I anticipated and it allows better access to work on the motor. The tricky part, not scratching anything when removing or installing.
