Any bolts that I missed?

So I am removing the passenger side fender and the damm thing won't come off.

Im I missing something, is it something with the antenna? I removed the top screws that run along with the hood, the 4 connected to the front bumper with the single to the body and the 1 under the gfx.

I try pulling it apart and its still being held by something near the bottom right of the fender. Anything I missed?

Quick help would be sweet

unscrew the antenna at the base, unscrew the flat piec under it with a pair of channel locks, pull the plastic thing under that off,, then straight down from the antenna is a big bolt 13mm I think it's usually bent to where you can't get to it because this is also a jack point.... other than that I think you got them all.

there's a bracket in the front, did you get that, it's a V shape.

Straight down the antenna? You mean the 1 bolt that secures under where the gfx goes onto the fender? By the way is it only 1? I see another but it looks sorta plastic made and does not seem to be something that comes off but I will take a look at it closely again.

Yea theres 2 actually the support that is under the front area and then the other that you cans see when you remove the front bumper.

yeah it'd be right under the gfx, but like I said it's usually bent to where you can't see it too good, you might also have to unscrew some bolts from the gfx itself, I don't know much about the front ends of GTA's/85-> TA's the only one I took apart, the front was smashed clear to the wheel openings.

Yep that was the story there, someone had previously jacked the car from there bending the bolt where I cant see it. Fender is off now. Thanks for the help!
