Fender Replacement

I purchased a new-to-me passenger fender since I have ruined mine pretty well. Any of you guys know how to pull one of these bad boys off? I see what looks like a rivet holding it by the passenger door. Hopefully I'm wrong. Pullleeeeaaaaasssseeeeeee help me make my baby pretty again.

Got to pop off the side marker. There is 1 screw inside there. Take the inner fender liner loose and using a long extension to reach back along the upper part of the fender ( on the inside of course ) there is 1 screw close to the door hinge. Another bolt along the bottom of it that you probably will need to loosen the sideskirt to get to from bottom up. Open the Bonnet and there is 2 screws you'll need to take out of the auto-align plastic thingy.. It is a PITA to do as 2 of the screws use a star bit and mine were factory painted on and took some heavy/cussing persuasion to get loose..

There is a pic of the panel in this thread and a link to it. There are multiple pics of it to show the location of those screws.

Side Panel Front - Right
