It's time for the Scotty Kilmer Channel
have you been involved in a fender bender, then stay tuned because I'm going to
show you how to fix some minor fender benders and polish them up so they look
pretty good, now since a bunch of damage is inside here, we're going to take the wheel
off, to take the inner fender liner off, so we can get inside to work on it, so we'll
jack it up in the air, take the tire off,
now we have to take all these fasteners off, these particular ones have
Philips head screws that you unscrew to get them off, and you need special little pliers
like these, to get these off, because they have these funky little inside clips,
these just bite them and pull them out, you can see it pulls the snap in, and then
the whole thing comes out, these little players are real handy, you can try with
needlenose pliers, but a lot of times they end either breaking these or if
use cutters they'll cut them and break them, so you get a pair of these for about 12
bucks, then you have to go under the car, and get the clips on the bottom two and
pull them off, then you wiggle a little bit and you can pull it in and off, so you can get all
the pieces up here that need to be bolted back in, the trick is, to line up
all these little tangs that are in here, they fit into the little holes and then hit it
a few times, now you know it's in place and it looks good, but it won't hold up
long, because a lot of the tangs that hold it inside, they're made out of
plastic, and they were broken when the car was in the fender bender, so we're
going to put a few little nuts and bolts inside, to hold in place, so it won't fall
off again as easily, now I've got this whole value pack with a whole bunch of nuts
and bolts inside, so I'll find the right one, but really I only paid 20 bucks for
the whole kit, so it's a good idea to have all the right size ones around for
20 bucks, beats going to the hardware store back and forth a million times,
well look what the evil Birds have done, that are chirping over my head in
the trees, they got me in hand, well at least I was wearing gloves, that's a
disadvantage of being a shade tree mechanic, we'll just push a bolt through
right here, then put a nut in a washer, and it will hold the whole thing in place, and we
do want to washer and a nut to put it together, because we don't want the
nut to wallow through the plastic, so use a nut and a washer, and bolt it in there,
and since there isn't much room, we're going to use this ten millimeter socket,
and a little bitty quarter inch ratchet, so we get in a tight place and make it
nice and snug, stick it inside get nice and tight, so it
won't come off again, and you can see, it's nice and tight and straight now,
the original piece was just a stupid plastic snap, now we got a medal nut and
bolt in there, it'll last a lot longer and it won't rip off as easily, and then
of course, we got to put the fender liner back in,
and push all the snaps back in, and don't forget to put the bottom snaps on the
bottom too, but now comes a tricky part, trying to get rid of these scratches
that got scraped, so we'll get a rubbing compound, and a little buffing machine, so we
can buff it off, put a little on the car, a little on the buffer, and let it rip,
then we wipe off the residue with a little water,
since that knocked all the wax off, we'll re-wax it,
and buff it off,
and we have a nice shiny coat now, so the next time you get in a fender bender,
why not fix it yourself, and remember
if you have any car questions just visit the Scotty Kilmer channel
and I'll answer them, as soon as I get done doing my business, what will they
think of next, hey it does have a motor on it I got to fix
this thing
