    The bolts can be hard to get to, but a socket and ratchet usually fit. The front one is the hardest to get as the brace is in the way.

    I am talking about where the bracket comes back onto the chassis rail. There shouldn't be any nuts and bolts at the front wheel.

    nah its the plastic guard piece infront of the wheel and it seems like if i take that then i need to take the wheel to, im hoping there is an easier way.

    You can just remove the cover on those, two screws in the bit directly in front of the wheel, three screws on top, two I think in the mouth and three underneath. Then the plastic section comes off without removing the steel bracing.
