Re: front end....

Do you mean you don't know how to take the front bumper cover off?

If so, you have to get under the car and reach up both sides from the bottom to undo the bolts. There are 6 on each side, IIRC.

Re: front end....

iirc there are 3 bolts on either side that connect the bumper cover to the fenders, these bolts are difficult to get to and sometimes spin,
when i took off my bumper cover they kept spinning so i had to take off the fenders with them
i forgot about the other bolts but they're not too hard to find

Re: front end....

Under normal circumstances, you won't have to remove the fenders. The bolts are hard to reach though. Especially if you don't have little hands.

Re: front end....

The bolts can be seen by looking forward from the front tires, inside the fenders, up in the corners of the fenders where they meet the nose.

The top one is ususally the most difficult. A ratchet and a universal joint and an extension makes it easier to get to the upper bolt.
