You need to remove the right wheel and wheel well liner. There are a number of screws including some that go in vertically at the liner bottom. These are near the back, closer to the door.

OP, most HVAC line issues seem to be from battery acid on the small plastic vacuum line that is below the battery and can be found and fixed without removing the fender.

Hope that is the case for you.

In BOTH front wheel wells,, there's a small access panel at the rear of the fender liner. Remove the wheel and then remove the screws that secure the panel. There are some UNDER the car also. That will provide you enough access to get to the fire wall area.
