Front fender removal

[toml]

(Yes I searched )

Can someone give me a quick run down of what's required to remove the front fenders? Mostly I just want to know if there's any hidden bolts that are a trap for first timers, or anything similar.

Thanks

There are a few up inside the nosecone that are a bitch to get to.

yes and there are a couple inside the fender that you have to take the inner liner off to get to.

i made a thread about it. and do not pull ayt any cost. The nose has about 3 that you need many many swiivels to get to. easiest way is to jack up the car, then take off the wheel and the plastic bits and youll be good.

I see, are these the three bolts that connect the front tip of the fender to the upper front nose-cone-type piece? (i can't think of its real name)

yep. even more. they are really a pita. when i put mine back on, i left only 1 or 2 of them on. No point for that much bolts there.

In my case the bolts twisted off, were rusty. But actually it made it easier that way, but was a pain the attach the new fenders.
