Fender splash guard bolt size

[Ozuye10]

2004 ranger xl fender splash guard bolt size 5mm is too small and 5.5mm is too big. Nothing SAE seems to fit. About to saw it off

Give the edges a good wire brushing and try again.

I’ll go buy a wire brush. Is it supposed to be a 5mm bolt?

 

[Blmpkn]

You could just try scraping the edges good with a flat-head too, no idea what size it's supposed to be though.

The ol Mexican speed-wrench (adjustable) might not be a bad option either.

It's 5/16.

When I went to the pull yard, I wasn't planning on pulling a fender so I didn't have the right size wrench. I went to AZ and bought this:



It worked on a 94.

you might get one of the ends on a screw driver that has removable tips to fit, too

5/16" won't fit it?

The small ones around the edge

I looked at mine this evening and they are getting to be terrible rough :/

 

[Josh B]

I see what you mean about the small ones, like under the backside on it, I'll see if I can find that

The closest I had was a 7/32. I only have some cheap sets that size that I keep in my yard bag, and it even feels a bit loose in there but not enough I wouldn't use it, hoping it would break it.
I think it won't be long I'll need or want to do some things on mine
I have two sets like that which are one metric, and one set standard

I've found myself using a pair of channel lock pliers. its taking forever but its working.ill probably replace them with 1/4" self tappers

I'd try a 7/32's if you had it. Sorry it took me so long to catch on to this :/
