You will need to take out the grill, head lights. head light door, and the stainless trim on the front edge of the side you are replacing. After that there is a few 9/16 heads and a bunch of 1/2 head bolts.One underneath at the front of the rocker, one above the top door hinge, one right near the hood hinge. There are 5 or so down the radiator support inside under the hood. Then a few beside the head lights.Then there are some all the way around the wheel opening of the fender. There are three along the front edge of the inner fender, and two in the rear of the wheel well for it.
Hope the helps you out.

Power steering should not have any problems. You will need to unbolt the charcoal canister to get to the bottom inside bolts. The battery and battery tray on the right hand side need to come out.

I am sure Blazin meant to put a "not" in the middle.
