To remove the front fender, you must first remove the door and the hood to access the various mounting pins. These pins are located along the inner edge of the fender, beneath the hood's side closure line, where you will also find the mounting pins for the hood support bracket.

Additionally, there are other pins inside the door cutout, and this side of the fender is also glued with sealant. Finally, remove the plastic trim that covers the edge of the fender and detach the edge of the bumper.
