I am replacing both Headlight Assembly's The question is what is the best way to access the bolt that is down on the side of the fender? Would taking out the side marker lens allow easy access to that bolt or do I just have to struggle by using a open end wrench- I do have a set of ratchet box end wrench's but it is a tight fit
