I cant flex that urathane frame at all paint may crack
It is not the easiest to do on 77 & 78 models. :-\
It all comes off as a big assembly. OR, you might be able to just loosen it all up enough to replace what you need to.
After the visible brackets are off from behind, the whole rubber piece around the headlight must be pulled. There are 4 nuts behind the headlight - a 7/16" or 1/2" deep socket, a u-joint, and several extensions must be used. Lay on a rug under the car. There are a couple nuts at the lower fender, too. Careful at pulling the rubber from the paint, as they stick together sometimes. And YES, the paint will crack if flexed too much - work carefully.
Are your inner white parking lamp shells broke? Mine are all busted up from wrecks 20 years ago and need replacement. The bulbs just kinda lay there. :o However, it is not bad enough to render all that dissassembly... :nocool:
