There is a plate with a 2 nuts attached on the inside of the fender. Hard to explain, but you can see it on the drawing on this website:

Hope this helps.

+1 on the nutplate on the backside of the fender. Nothing you need to get a wrench on to.

Heat the Torx with a solder iron and tape of the fender in case your torx bit slips out - I got a nice little scratch that way on the old tins.

Replace one at a time or the back plate will fall out. No big deal, but it will make it go quicker.

Dude call some autopart stores and see if they'll loan you one. If not they're cheap and its always good to have the tools in your own possession. If I ever need a tool I buy it cuz chances are I'll need it again.
