It's pretty straight forward... just look for the screws/nuts that hold the nose on and pull them out. The fender is pretty much the same way. Think of it as a Lego set.

It will be easier to assemble the fenders and nose first then install it on the car all at once, you will need a buddy to help lift it into place.
You can do it one piece at a time, but the bolts/studs that hold the nose on are a real bear to get at with the fenders on the car.

Remove the splash shield, remove horns on drivers side, and then long extension and you will have all the nuts holding the front end to the fenders off in about 5 minutes.
removing the entire front clip is going WAY overboard.

No if he's going to replace both fenders and nose at the same time (as stated above).
