Default Replace Drivers Kick Panel

Non AC car - need to remove and replace the drivers kick panel. I searched and found a couple of posts, but not a lot of info.

Sounds like the e-brake needs to come out? Along with a handful of screws and the cable connection to the vent door. The posts I did find indicated that the bolts for the e-brake are difficult to get to.

My car is currently at the bodyshop - is this something I should be doing now before the fenders go back on or does it not make any difference?

While it would be easier with the fender off. There is enough room between the brake vacuum booster and the fender to put the nuts on the E brake bracket on the engine compartment side.

Magnetic tools can help when access is limited. The kick panels wrap around the body opening, can't be installed until after that area is painted, if that matters.
