Wheel house?

I want to remove the bed wheel house for a few dent repairs. Do these just unbolt? I don't want to get into any welding. Truck has a steel bed.

Re: Wheel house?

Yes, on the unbolt. Some of mine I had to tighten till they snapped off, because as you loosen them the square head comes out of the square hole and just spins. If you have someone apply a downward force, you mite get away with removal, use a rust buster(PB Powerblaster) Good Luck

The bedside area is welded nuts
