They are assembled with the bolts from the inside out. You need to remove the fender liner for access. The tough one is above the side marker light. Last time I think I removed that light to see inside. A long extension is necessary.

Iv been wondering if the bolts can be reversed (outside in) for easer re-assembly.

Looking at the grill, where it is attached to the fender, you can see the end of the bolts holding them together. If you have those all out, there are two more holding the fender. One is inside the doorjamb, with the door open you will see it about even with the bottom hinge. The second one is underneath on the bottom rear corner of the fender, you will have to lie on the floor to see it.

If this thread gets Mil1ons attention, he may have a diagram.
