I just did it this weekend on my T/A to see about removing the bumper supports.
I agree with SSick, the inner fenders were the biggest PITA but not hard overall. The reason I think its a PITA is because they are just more screws to take off. Other than time consuming its pretty much cake.
I had a Haynes manual but didn't mention some of the extra screws that were there. As SSick mentioned there are 3 screws on each side that attach the bumper to the fender. If you remove the inner fender cover its MUCH easier to get to them. The other ones are in plain view.
Hope this helps

I don't have to take off the front fender to take off the inner fender do I? To get the innerfenders off I am guessing its ez'r with the wheels off the car?

it would be easier to remove the inner fenders without the wheels on i just kept turning the steering wheel.i have my fenders and bumper off so i can't really remember if it was necessary to remove the fenders. the fenders and bumper both join together on this metal piece on the side of the car and are held by a couple of nuts but i can't rember exactly in what order they were bolted up i.e. if it was the metal piece at the top then the fender then the bumper or bumper first then fender. just take off the inner fender and take a look inside you'll see what im talking about. remember its not hard just time consuming.
