hi ihave a 92 rodeo, and part of the lower inner front fender on the passenger side has rotted away, by the mud flap, i want to take the fender off, bc it will be easier to work with, i was wondering if any of you knows how to remove it, any bolt or screw locations etc etc. or any other tips on removing it, thanks

I have the exact same vehicle sitting beside me in the parking lot. When I run out to have a smoke, I'll take a quick look for you...about 3pm EST.

Ok, it's pouring rain out, so I didn't look overly hard, but here's what I found...
Behind the door (open it and look where the hinges are) there are 2 or three bolts there. They look like 10mm with a 6" extension will pop them out.
Under the hood there are 5 or 6 bolts along the top of the fender.
You'll have to take the couple of phillips screws out of the side of the headlight bezel to detach it from the fender.
It also appears as though there *may* be a bolt in behind the front corner of the bumper but I could not verify this. If so, it's trivial to loosen it away and pull it back to get at it.
Looks like maybe a 20 minute job to pop it off...if that.
BTW, you may also have to unscrew your antenna mount if it's on the side you want to remove.
