How do I get the frickin fenders off?

I removed all the upper bolts, the lower bolts, the doors, the hood, but there's a couple bolts I can't get to.

Any ideas? Any walkthroughs? Anybody? Bueller?

I'm taking the nose off, too, any hints on that?

There are 4 bolts on each side that connect the fenders to the bumper cover. I think you have to get at the top one on each side with the headlights up.

remove the bumper and wheel wells and crank the headlights up. Reach inside the headlights theirs a bolt up there where the fender is. Then one in front the bumper covered. Remove the 2 behind the door. Remove the lowers ones. inside wheel well remove the 5 I think in there this actually has to be removed to pull the bumper off. Remove the ones up top and it will come off now. All bolts are 10mm but they require a long extension some times usably 2 10in extensions.

I might be wrong about the bumper I just can not remember for sure about that one bolt. But I really think the fender wrapped around. If you also have the rubber trim on the bottom of the bumper held on it will over lap the fender and needs to come off also. The brake ducts hold all this in too.

Well, I found the four bolts connecting the fender to the bumper cover... PB Blaster is going to work on them, I'll tackle 'em tomorrow... I'm a bit busy bleeding all over now, so I'm done for the day LOL
