If so, most of the vendors and even your local NAPA will have a set.

Just be careful with the power tools!

Beats trying to get the nut off all the rusted threading.

I did the same thing that Highwayman decribes above. A quick turn to the right snaps the fender bolts off pretty easily. Replace the bolts with phillips head bolts.
Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into your brain...that is where crappy ideas come from.
