Default 97 Caravan Fender removal/not in Haynes

Wailed 2 deer in 2 weeks. Last nights finished the work of deer 1. I'm in the process of removing the fender and the Haynes manual islittle help as to all the fender bolts. I was great at 1st generation caravans, but this is my first 3rd generation body reconstruction.
My question is does removing the cowling below the wiper arms gain you access to another fender bolt? (I got the one below the mirror) It appears there is a rear bolt that is part of the hood support arm, is this also a fender bolt? (i know the 1 in front of that one is.) Is there any secret to hood replacement and fender removal. Radiator and Condensor seem pretty straight forward as well as the headlight assembly. Any advice would be great. Thanks

You have to take the headlamp out, you only have to take the screw out of the cowl by the fender. Also did you get the one bolt that is accessed through the door jamb? And you need to pull the front bumper away there is one behind there as well.

Ahhhhhh...... Thank you about the cowl screw!!! I was thinkinking the back hinge bolt was also a fender bolt and boy did that look like a pain in the tuckus. All bolts and screws(bumper cover included) are out except for that upper cowl one. Thanks a bunch. This repair will be finished next week probably standing in snow (gods garage can really suck sometimes). Going away for the holidays and then have to get the new radiator and A/C condensor and then rebolt it all back together...... thanks again...
