Question 2 driver side front fender questions

1st off are there any hidden nuts or bolts or clips in the bumper area? i've already removed all the top bolts including the one that gets coverd by the door when it's closed and under the headlight and that connects the nose to the top of the fender and of course the bottom ones that hook to the bottom valance but still cant quite get it off easily....also it's a 84 is there any difference from 81-85? because there's a 1st gen in a yard close by but has no dash and i believe has no sticker and the pass side was mangled up a bit

Remove the fender liner and there is one towards the door in the center.

i've already got all those bolts, inner fender liner has been removed long ago it's just around the front bumper that's giving me a bit of trouble

There is a 10mm nut you have to get to from the wheel well near the front of the door jam. It's down near where the wiring for the power windows and mirrors would come out of the body. You'll need a long extension to get at it easily....

I think you have to take the bumper off.
I did anyway, to take the fender off, to get to the door hinges.

no you don't. just have to be patient and work it around.

Seems to me there was a bolt or nut I couldn't get to, and it was easier to take the out the 2 bolts that hold the bumper on. I wasn't very patient at the time.
