changing front plastic bumper

OK, I have searched and searched and found zip...
how in heck do I get to the bolts that hold the front plastic bumper on.
It looks as though I have to remove the fenders to get to all the bumper bolts but I need to remove the bumper to get to the fender bolts.
My knuckels are bleeding... help.

Alright, jack up the front of your car, take the wheels off... and you will see a a few bolts and staple looking things towards the front of the wheel/fender well whatever it's called ... you take out what you can, the staples i just ripped out and redid... then it opens up a space about 5 inches wide to get your tools in, but it is a pain in the *** unless you have a 12" extender ... but that's how it's done

/\....except i didnt have staples? i just took screws off to get the fender wheel well plastic piece up enough to get the tools in. my bolts and crap were pretty rusted so u may need wd40. as far as i remember, it was 4 bolts, but im pretty bad at remembering, so dont take my word on it. you just take out those bolts, the ones on top, and the misc. on the bottom off. fender pops straight off then.

thats the hard way, the easy way=underneath the fender at the front you can remvove plastic shields and reach up easly to remove the bolts/nuts as needed.
