Before you begin

Are your mud flaps cracked or broken? Use this guide to replace your mud flaps to look brand new.

Step 1

Always make sure your car is off, the parking break is applied, and you are in a safe area free from other passing cars.

Step 2

Turn the wheels all the way towards the side you will be working on.
This will create easier access to the inside of the wheel well when you are replacing the mud flap.

For the back two mud flaps you will need to use a slightly different technique due to the limited space you will be working in.
Use your hands and the 10mm wrench piece to unbolt the mud flap.
Once you have removed the nuts, you can move on to the #6 3/4" Philips Head Screw.
This step will be aided by the use of an extra small Philips screwdriver.

Step 7

Replace both back mud flaps and fasten all pieces back in place.

Make sure the mud flaps are all properly tightened and positioned before driving your car again.
Enjoy your brand new mud flaps.
