Now comes the task of removing the right side fender. I have been searching and came across very little on how to get them off. I have this ...http://members.rennlist.com/redufo/fender.html...but it can no longer be accessed. Anyone know or have a right up? I'm kind of picture oriented. I blame that on my experiences with Playboy. Thanks, Doug.

to remove the fender, it will have a few differences based on the year.
Jack up the car and remove the front wheels.
Then the fender liner and front block off plate on the side you want to remove,
then for the right side remove the washer tank.

NOTE its possible to simply slide the tank forward so that you can get to the 2 bolts that anchor the fender to the chassis,
the bolts are covered with body shutz and thus will not be easy to remove,

NOTE once the bolts are out find the edge of the fender and score a line with the razor blade so the fender will come free from the body shutz.

Spray PB blaster on the bolts that anchor the front PU cover, and spoiler
use a small wire brush to agitate any dirt or corrosion and spray the bolts again,
this so you dont snap off the studs.

Remove the spoiler bolts on the fender and pull the spoiler free,
use a piece of string or support the spoiler or put it on a milk crate.

Remove the the PU bolts at the fender and the screws along the front of the hood,
this should give the PU cover some wiggle room to come free of the fender.

Put a piece of blue tape on the windshield to mark the wiper blade positions,
then remove the wipers and the mounting covers,

Remove the two windshield side trims, use a wood stick and tap gently to drive the trim towards the middle of the car.
this will expose the 2 screws for the cowl edge ,
remove the 2 screws under the hood tips and lift the cowl free..

Remove the screws that anchor the fender to the fender well,
and the screws under the fender at the rocker.

With a hacksaw blade, carefully cut the body mastic thats under the top rear edge of the fender.

Put blue tape on any edges so you dont damage adjacent areas.

Once this is done the fender should pull free make sure that you have also removed any wires from lights.

NOTE you should also remove the headlamp covers and the headlight so it will give more room to work and reduce the chance of damaging the headlight cover or light.

I cant visualize this step..what is it?

It's an adhesive bead that runs along the rear edge of the fender, between the body and fender, it was about an inch or so from the edge on my car.
