What do I need to take apart to replace the passenger side front fender on a 68 Fury?

It appears that I might be able to do this without removing the hood, door, and bumper (although I think that I will have to loosen the bumper a bit to get things in place.

Any advice would be appreciated!
 
I’m going by memory in my reply. My recall is that there is a screw that attaches the panel behind the bumper to the fender that is hidden by the bumper so the bumper brackets will need to have the bolts removed so that you can take the bumper assembly off or moved forward. There’s a bolt in the upper door jam and another under the end of the cowl. You may need to remove the outer wheelhouse panel. Some reference photos are attached. A Chrysler service manual would be helpful for reference.

Thanks for the response. I have the Factory Service Manual (FSM) and it has instructions. I’ll combine your recollections and the FSM data and report back in the Elwood build thread.
