i think you just remove the fender to gain access via a few bolts on the top and a few in the crack of the door.

It will be easiest if you work around the inner fender piece. It's mostly held in place by the stiffness of the plastic. There are several small nuts on the inside of the fender. The nuts hold a metal bracket which holds the fender flare in place. There my be 1 or 2 of those nuts holding the inner fender piece in place. The lower part of the inner fender is held in place by plastic plugs. You can pull those off with needle nose pliers around the base of the plug. IIRC there are 2 bolts on the inside of the fender holding the reservoir in place. The rubber piece holding the fill nozzle in place can be a pain. Don't try to force the nozzle and rubber piece into the reservoir. Put the rubber piece in and then lube it and put the fill nozzle in.
