Any special tools to bring to pull fenders?
Hi. Gonna go Camaro front fender, spoiler, bumper cover hunting @ junkyard.
Other than wrenches and sockets, shall I bring any other tools?
Torx bits? Thanks.

Wire cutters and flat head screw driver for sure. To remove the fender the hood has to come off in addition to its brackets. The front bumper cover, bumprs's ground effects, all that air damn plastic and possibly the side ground effects. It's a time consuming job.

10mm deep well socket, 6"extension, universal joint and a large amount of patience to get the nuts off the studs on the bumper cover. Not much room in the front of the fenders.

If you have a cordless drill/driver or driver or cordless ratchet or cordless impact it will make the job go much faster for removing the nuts on top of the fender and the nuts under the bumper for the plastic and ground effects. The 10mm ones already mentioned.
