fender removal

Alright , well I used both of your ideas of removing the splash shield AND using a few extension's put together to reach that upper (hidden) bolt.
What a pita that was , it didn't look to rusted when I finally got it out , but it turned hard all the way out.
I only took the one fender off , I think I might just leave the other one on and patch it on the car. It's not rusted as bad and would only need a small patch. I'm sure it would be better to remove it , but.....

thanks for all your help !
I'm going to get some pictures up after I get finished with everything.
