Can you take off the fenders without removing the doors? I can't get to the one bolt that is behind the door in the middle between the hinges. Is there a secret to this or do the doors have to come off?

Remove the plastic inner fender liner (Phillips screws). Get a 10mm socket on a long extension and you should be able to reach it no problem.

I have a theory that you could just swivel the head of one of these 180 degrees and get it on the nut:



but I haven't tested that yet. Pulling the fender liner is proven and safer.
