    Anyone know of a "How to" thread on fender removal? I've been looking all day but can't seem to find it. Advice appreciated:D

    EDIT: For the front driver's side, preferably

    I'm sure one of the long travel guys that have swapped to 'glass can help you guys.

    Basically I'm sure it consists of- removing the plastic fender liners from the fender, and removing all the bolts around the fender.
    -Under the bottom of the fender/flare,
    -all along the top under the edge of the hood,
    -and I think one below the corner of the headlight tucked behind the plastic bumper cover.

    Bump. Anyone have a diagram with the bolt locations? Do I need to remove the front bumper before taking off the fender?

    I got mine off by just removing every bolt and screw that looked like it was attached to but still had to use a sawsall to cut the forward sections free since they were tucked behind the grill...BUT now I can't get the new fender on in one piece without having to remove the chrome grill. The chrome grill has 10 push on plastic locks that cannot be released without breaking them which means I have to buy a new chrome grill to reinstall the new fender!
    Anyone know any way of getting the new fender on without removing the grill?
