Does anyone have instructions on how to replace a fender?

I wish I had your problems, replacing the fender is quite elementary, especially on a 1971 GMC truck, here it goes:
1. You will need a 9/16 and a 1/2in socket and wrench, (you can practically take the whole truck apart with those two wrenches)
2. Open up your hood and find a stick to hold it open because you are going to remove the hinge off the Fender.
3. Then unbolt everything that is on the side of the Fender that you are removing.
4. Then get on your knees (and hopefully you are praying at this point) and unbolt the wheel well, those are all the bolts around the edge of the Fender where the tire is.
By that time you should figure it out, and don't forget to take the chrome off around the headlight there's a few bolts there to.
