Default Sapphire blue bikini / Removal (of fender)


Now that I have your attention...

Can someone help with 991.1 GT3 front fender removal?
I am 95% there, except for 3 nuts. These are inside the door jam and a 9mm socket fits on them. However, when I attempt to loosen them, they just turn. I cannot access the bolt side on the inner aspect of the fender. The washer reservoir is obscuring access. Are these screws or a rivet of some sort? Thoughts?

Some massage oil would work wonders.

Aha, massage oil! Now we're talking!

After removing the wheel well liner, the washer reservoir is housed in the left front fender. I cannot see how to remove it.

I Personally don't know but might suggest going into a Porsche dealer and asking the service guys. Even if they don't know they have the full car on computers and that should tell them how to remove the front fender. I've done this once before and they were super helpful. However, they wouldn't let me download a copy of the program!!

Someone posted a google docs to the PET and service manual on the 991 forum. That should tell you how to remove the fender aka wing.

I have to bring the tech whenever I can. This formum is like 5% tech and I am used to 75% or more tech. I mean defenders break and need restorations. New GT cars, not so much. Lol.
