Removing Fenders??
I was wondering if anyone here could tell me an easy way or some kind of trick to taking off the front fenders without taking off the front end. I've done it once before, but took me like all day long because of how hard the bolts are to get to in the front. Is there any special tool or something any of you have used to make this job easier and quicker?....I'm gettin a new fender tomorrow and I'm gonna have to take off mine, the one from the doner car, and then reinstall the new one. I don't wanna have to be workin on this for a week.....Thanks

Never did a 'maro but my T/A fender wasn't to hard to get off and yes there were 2 or 3 bolts that were hard to reach but not bad, get a couple extentions to help you reach those,and this would be a good time to replace your doors hinge pin and bushings too, wile you can get to it easy.

A few bolts along the top of the fender, inside the hood area. One bolt (probably smashed backwards), on the bottom of the fender, between the back of the fender and the front of the door. (People usually jack their cars up on this when they get their first flat tire.) Two bolts at the bottom front of the fender, which connects to a lower fender brace, which connects to the frame. Two studs at the area where the top of the bumper and the top of the fender meet. Two lower bolts where the bottom of the bumper and the bottom front of the fender meet.
BAB, you could undo the front bumper bolts, and just swing the front bumper forward an inch or two, just so you can get the fender out.
