basically to take off the fenders the nose has to come off.

I remove the fenders and front end all in one piece. Just take everything loose and have a buddy get on one side and you get on the other and the entire front end will slide off.

I have mine off right now to repair my cowl panel.

ok but what holds the front clip on??

by the looks of things you can just take the fenders off but i might just take the hole front clip off if its faster??

the reason i want the fenders off is so that i can sand blast my frame up front cuz i seen some rust there just started so i want to get it befor it gets worse

thanks

It is way faster to remove the entire front clip. There is a total of 16 to 18 bolts to remove. Then you have to unplug the headlights etc... and it will slide right off.

Not to mention when you do it this way you have alot less to line up when you reinstall it.

ok so i just take the fender bolts out (BUT NOT THE ONES TO THE FRONT NOSE) and then are there anyto the front clip that must come off the frame?? if so where?
