Default How to remove front fender and bumper of 05 GS300?

I searched this forum cannot found, youtube has:
1st one missing what in 2nd one: two nuts each side to connect fender to bumper hard to reach.
Yet I still don't know how to remove fender: I know it has top nuts, fender linder screws, one screws under big light, what else? service manual has no this part. better if you have photos thanks!

That's about it...peel the fender liner back on both sides to access the screws behind them...you'll need an extension. Other than that the rest are easy. Once you start taking it apart you'll see how to remove the rest.

I removed the light, there are two M10 from left to right fender. I also removed the molding at the bottom, there is one M10. Top nuts and outer screws on liner removed earlier. Yet, the fender still tight at the door side. May be I need to remove tire and whole liner?
