To replace the wheel arch on a Volkswagen Passat B6, you need to lift the car with a jack and remove the bolts securing the wheel corresponding to the wheel arch being replaced. Once the wheel is removed, you will have access to the bolts that secure the wheel arch to the rest of the bodywork.

These need to be loosened so that the wheel arch can be pulled out of its housing. Consequently, the new wheel arch can be positioned inside its housing and secured with the previously removed bolts.

At this point, you can reinstall the wheel.
