Rust Behind The W/shield Washer Bag

[SCHOONER]

HI GUYS

Got some rust behind the windshield washer bag. I cleaned it all up and now I got a some nice clean holes to fill-in with lead.

However, I have to take off the drivers side fender. In order to get at the repair I have to make. I'm having a hellva time getting that sucher off.

I took off the front bumper and I loosen the bolt at the door hinge. I loosen the top bolts in the engine well also and that fender is not moving, not even a little bit.

Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I figure once I get that fender off I can grind-out the under coating and make the back side of the holes nice a clean down to the bare metal. Then go in and put a back-up piece of sheet metal and lead the front inside of the engine well where the holes are.

Unless, I'm doing something wrong on my approach to repairing these rust spot please tell me a better way of doing it.

THANK YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS
