It's called a fender. There's no such term as "front quarter panel". There
*is* a "rear quarter panel", though.

This is odd. I've just checked two different Honda shop manuals and neither
even mentions the front fenders. I can only guess that Honda thinks it's
pretty obvious when you start studying it.

The fenders I've removed have all been very easy except for fastener
corrosion: There's a row across the top, paralleling the hood/fender gap
(undo those LAST); There's one at the top rear corner that can only be got
at with the door open; There's one or two at the bottom behind the front
wheel; There's one or two at the front just ahead of the front wheel.

On my '91 'Teg you also need to remove the front bumper, the corner light
and its bracket, and the mudguard.

You'll also need to remove at least three of those plastic clips that hold
the fender liner on to the wheel well lip.
