CLK (C209) Mudflaps - DIYable?

[Hammerhead]

Are these easy to fit ones self or best left to the garage bods to afix? Any special tools needed or will a ring spanner, hammer and a cup of tea do the trick?

Thanks all.

Mudflaps are very easy to fit - you just need a spanner.

Fronts need full lock to put on easily and the rears are best fitted with the wheels removed. Half an hour at the most.

Thanks, Phil. I'll order some in that case

take all the wheels off and use the opertunity of putting on some copper paste so the alloys don't fuse to the hub

Essy to do but a drill is needed to drill a hole into the arch lining for each side (1* screw is fitted to each flap in addition to 2* spring clips...). Only tools needed are a drill and screw driver. Best to take the wheels off.

Thanks for all the tips, chaps. It'll give me the excuse to clean & wax in the insides of the rims whilst I'm at it

Cheers,
