    There are six retaining clips, on the underside for the rear 5 for the front. I had to replace all of them. There are rectangle ones that hold it onto the side of the body, if you push down the fender should pop out with the clips still attached to the body. I broke a couple, but autozone carries replacements. Then paint your fenders. I found it easier to pop the rectanglur clips out of the body they have two wings like wall anchors just take a small screwdriver and push them to the stem and they should pull right out. and fix them back on the fender then just pop the fender back on.
