My fenders? Just an angle grinder, finished off with sandpaper on the lips to paint so it won't rust.

Just moved mine today. Unscrew it from bumper, pull the hose from the ball, pull the hose back up into the engine bay, place it, reconnect it. I put mine between the battery and fender with one screw in a hole that was already there.
