Easiest way to remove fenders?

Whats the easiest/simplest way to remove the front fenders? I hear theres some bolts behind the bumper that are a pain to get to without removing the bumper cover.

there are the ones in the engine bay, on the top, 2 underneath the car and 1 in the door jam. there are 3 behind the bumper as well but with a swivel head, you should beable to get it out. you might also wanna take out your headlights for more room.

I'd just pull the bumper off, takes less than 10 mins. I tried to take my headlights out but found it easier just to pull the bumper, lights need to be up though.

Thanks, I'll try it without removing the bumper and hopefully I'll succeed.

Prepare for some major hassles reinstalling the fender if you don't remove the bumper. The three bolts behind the front bumper can be accessed with a swivel head, sure; the problem will be reinstalling the fender, as there is a "lip" for the fender that must be inserted behind the bumper lip (the bolts go through both) and the holes aligned before you reattach everything.
