Ive searched far and wide, and for some reason cant get any bites on this

Any help would be appreciated, as I have to remove my Pignose - and both front fenders... I wrenched on it for almost an hour last night and got no where so Im really depressed and stumped lol.

Input and suggestions on removing the front end would be great!

Thankyou

bumper:1. Locate the 4 bolts that bolt up the bumper to the headlight supports.2. get under the car and look where the bumper meets the fender. You'll see a series of 5 or 6 10mm nuts holding them together there. It will probably be easier if you also removed the fender liners before doing this since you'll be removing them anyway. 3. go to the front of the bumper and where the large opening is, you'll see another 4 plastic screws holding the bumper in place. Get those out and pull the bumper off.

Fender:1. Now that you've got the bumper off, you'll see one bolt up front behind the part where the bumper was, holding the front of the fender to the car. 10mm.2. Undo the row of 10mm bolts holding the top of the fender to the engine bay.3. Open your door and you'll see another 10mm near the top of the fender that will be visible when your door is open.4. Now stick your head in the section where your wheel was located. Look towards the back of the car and with a flashlight, look in the small open section where your fender liner covered. You'll need an extension to get to this other 10mm bolt.5. One more at the bottom of the fender on the side nearest the firewall.6. undo your turn signal marker7. remove fender
