Its pretty easy, bolts and other stuff. The only thing I reccomend is to pull the hood first, as the hinges are bolted to the fender, it'll make working on it easier. Gonna have to pull the grille, wiper cowl, possibly the bumper (depends how flexable your hands are, or could loosen it enought to get around it) and whatever is bolted to it on the inside (engine compartment). There are bolts behind the door too, open the door halfway and you'll see it.

I took my fenders off without removing the bumper, but they wouldn't fit out of there without some pretty extreme contact with it. If I was doing bodywork on them I wouldn't want to wedge them past the bumper and mess them right back up again. :lol:

Also, there are a million bolts holding those fenders on. When you think you've got them all and there can't possibly be another one, there probably is.
