spray some q10 or other anti-rust lube over the lower 2 bolts underneath by the sill, they are usually rusted pretty bad and I would give them a real good coating overnight. Other than that it's very straight forward. and be patient with the stud behind the fender by the hood spring...

Thumbs up on the spray.  I had a time with the two bolts on the bottom and i created a few words working on the stud by the hood spring.  Other than that, mine came apart pretty easy.

I would add get some cardboard. Use this to place the bolts and shims in the same order you remove them. This will make it easer to reasemble the car.

haha, stupid fender, it took me 6 hours to get one off. There are so many bolts. It took me and hour to figure out how the get the the stud by the door. But the bolts were stripped so i just air hammered them to death.

Now im just doing rust repair on it

Remove the inner fender splash shield and that nut is EASY to get to.
