Default Front Bumper and Fender removal

Hell Gang!

As the title states? How long does it take to remove the front bumper, drivers side fender and reinstall assuming I have all the tools. I've read a few DIY's but there is always something that delays the process. I'm just looking to do a quick inspection before the sun goes down. I might just wait till tomorrow.

if you have the splash guard your looking at about 30 minutes-1 hour to carefully take them off. assuming you have jacks and jack stands and all the tools.

Thanks guys!! Noodles was very close. Took me about 15 min prolly cause it was my first time taking it off. I did an inspection today and thank god, the frame is intact and the only thing that was damaged was the fender and door.

You guys are quick. It takes 5 minutes just to get the two corner bolts in front of the front wheels off.
