Default Driver side fender removal

I just got my new fender from corvetterecycling and it looks great, "had a very deep key mark in the original, and it was cheaper to replace then to repaint" My question is does anyone have a write up or a site that shows how to remove the front driver side fender? I can see most of the attachment points but by looking at the "new" fender I can see there are 2 points that may require the removal of the front bumper? and also some towards the rear, in the door jam area do these require me to remove my door? If anyone has done this kind of swap please chime in and let me know what I am up against, Thanks

Jon

The ones up front are easily gotten to by removing the headlight. The one at the rear you can get at after you remove the fender liner with an extension. Not hard at all to get off and on.

the nuts up by the head lights are hard to reach. 10 mm I think vs all the others are small torques screws.
