they re both 3rd generation so body lines match ----- and switching out a rear quarter entails welding and fabing the metal and if damage extends to the wheel well will need to do the same - then finish and blending paint
you can take out the inter wheel well fender or guard I forgot what they call it. remove the tire and you can get to the bolts a lot easier. when you take out the inter fender you may be able to get to the dent from the fender wheel well. if not and you need to remove the fender you will find bolts under the hood along the top of the finder edge. there is one under the cow as well right close to where the fender connects to the suv by front door. you will also find bolts that hold it to the front bumper I believe. you might have to look around to see if there is more. I just replaced my fender on my 2003 expedition about a month ago. you can get them on line for about $75. also I just remembered there are like 3 bolts that you can get to right by the front door running down to the trim piece on the bottom of fender. good luck
open the hood and remove the bolts going up the fender then remove the ones behind the door also the ones inside the wheel well and that should make it come right off
you can try removing the quarterpanell,& straightening it,but you are better off getting the offending neighbour to pay a body-shop to fix it Taking the door off is very involved &you will have to re-attach it, (not easy)
Harbor Freight and most local body shop supply stores should have a suction-cup type tool for pulling out dents. You maybe able to remove the inner fender well to get to the dent. To remove the fender, you'll need to remove the top fender bolts, the bolts that attach it to the header panel, and the bolts holding it on back by the door.
Chances are that if an impact did enough damage to loosen an axle then there is probably some other damage as well. Have you tried pushing the axle back into the transmission? If it comes out it's going to do some real damage to the car. The transmission will run out of oil and burn up your differential inside, then the shaft, which will still be connected to your wheel will beat and bash everything under the car until the cv joints tear apart. I wouldn't recommend it, it's not worth the risk.
I have a 98 Jeep Cherokee and installed a tow hitch this past week. In order to install the necessary support plates with mounted nuts I had to remove the bumper.
First I unscrewed the two screws located at the bottom of each of the plastic rear fenders. The panels (fenders) are then freed by tapping them upward as they are secuted with slots mounted to the body.
WIth the fenders removed, you can now reach to the two mounting bolts which secure the bumber to the frame. They are about 6 to 10 inches from the side of the bumber towards the center. Remove both of these bolts, then release the two bottom bolts and the bumber is free. Be careful not to break the plastic splash guard which runs along the top of the bumber and fastends to the body below the hatch.
Besure to spray the bolts with a good penetrating oil to help free them up before you strip the heads.
