Tools Needed?

I'm going to head to the junkyard this weekend to grab some parts, and I was wondering what tools i'll need to pull a front bumper and a passenger fender.

Wrenches that can fit in very cramped spaces. 8mm, 10mm, 12mm. Both open ended and a socket wrench with long extensions. If you have those screwdriver type wrenches they'll be handy. Bring a short but wide screwdriver for that one screw on top of the wheel well, or destroy it with pliers. Some liquid wrench and/or WD-40 may help with rusted bolts, or you might want to bring a cordless dremel with some cutting discs (this takes a while, btw, so make sure it's truly stuck). You don't need all the bolts to hold a panel on, heh. I'd also look up how to manually lift the headlights, to help you reach a couple of the bolts. About 2 of the bolts on each side must be removed from the bumper side. On the fender side there are just studs welded on, so don't waste time trying to wrench a welded stud.
