Front bumper cover.

I'm trying to remove my front bumper cover to add a coat of primer to it but i can't get to the last to bolts at the top of the inner fender. So i guess the question is should i have removed the front fenders or am i doing something wrong?

Re: Front bumper cover.

To get the fenders off, you need to take the bumper cover off (or with the fenders). That top one is the hardest to get. I use a 1/4" ratchet with a 10mm deep socket. Going in from the bottom makes it a little bit easier. Although it can be done from the top. Reaching in from the hole looking down at the side marker light. To get at it this way, a couple extensions are needed...unless you like having your arm bent around backwards.
