Front fender removal problems.
I'm working on taking a gigantic dent out of my driver's side front fender that my car had when I bought it. The only way I can do it, is to take the entire piece off. I've removed all of the exposed bolts, and the one in the door jamb, and this damned thing still won't come off! Are there some bolts in the bumper area that I'm missing, or should it just pull off at this point?

Another one that you may not have noticed is on the verticle peice that runs parallel to the door. There's a bracket that comes out from the body. It's hard to see the nut without the door being partially ajar.

I found it ALOT easier to take the front bumper off and then the fenders. Cause then the front bumper will be hangin there at an angle. Plus its easier to get the fender off.

And I snapped three bolts off, the two bottom front ones that hold the fender on, and one that holds that shielding up, inside the well. When I get it off, I'll drill and tap them.
I had to put all the ones I had off back on, because I had to go take my sister to my aunt's. So this weekend is my next chance at it.
Thanks for the help.
