Front Fender Removal

Hi Guys,

I have a door that is out of adjustment. It was slightly out when I bought the car, and I think years and years of slamming it made it more out of adjustment.

The hinges are good, I checked them, no play. Chiltons says to loosen 3 bolts on the hinge and one torx, then align the door, then torque the bolts back down.

Problem is in order to do this, the right front fender needs to come off. I was hoping to do this project tomorrow as my door is so far out of alignment that it rubs on the fender every time I open it.

So if anyone knows how to remove and install the drivers front fender without damaging it, I would appreciate it. (if someone chimes in with the right answer before I go to do the work tomorrow, I will make a tutorial on door adjustment for the tips and maintenance subforum. )

Thanks guys!
