Fender Removal
I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of removing drivers side fenders and if there are any bolts other than those located on the Top and bottom. Ive noticed 2 bolts behind the head light assembly but would really like to get the fender off without taking off the Bumper/Headlight. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i need to replace my dented fenders
Thanks ahead of time

Yup gotta take the bumper off and to get that off you have to take the finder well out and there are three studs up in the front that you have to get to threw the wheel whell, on both side. Along with the other bolts on the top and bottom of the bumper.

I removed the fender with no bumper removal. Remove top &bottom bolts*remove bolt behind window post by opening door*remove alignment nut with long extention by bending back liner at rear of wheelwell*remove 3 nuts from bumper studs same wayas align. nut, but go thru front of wheelwell instead of back--remove the nasty nuts on front of fender with a 10mm open end wrench working thru headlight cavity(yes,remove Mr. headlight) and underside of bumber. Headlight removal is quick after battery tray is removed. )Actuation arm of headlight motor just pops off with a pry from a large screwdriver.) Gently pry bumper forward to remove fender. Blasting everything with WD-40 helps bigtime.
