Removing the fenders is fairly straight forward. Leave the inner wheel house attached to the fenders when you do it.

1. Remove the hood.
2. Remove all attaching hardware at the rear of the fender, top bottom and the bolt near the top door hinge.
3. Remove all hardware for fender to core gussets, fender to core struts.
4. I removed the front lower valance and fender extensions, although the extension could be left on.
5. Don't forget the inner wheel house support brace, remove attaching hardware from inside the wheel house opening towards the rear.
6. Start pulling pushing and screaming and It'll come free.
