I cant figure out how i access this bolt holding them to the fenders

Regular nuts hold the light socket onto the frame of the reflector housing.

You have to pop out the lens to access the screws to remove them from the fenders.

Have you got a technique to share ? Last ones I saw the lens broke because the double-sided tape holding them was holding on so tight.

I believe the lens screws are under the holder tabs. Once you have the assembly removed from the fender you should see them. Hope it's not like Moparmarks stated, like a '69 Dart rear lights, where you have to break the damn lens to remove the bezel from the quarter panel.

This is a '70 Dodge front marker... should be similar.

 

[moparmarks]

Not really. I've used a small 90* awl and try to get behind the lens but usually break some of them.

69's, 70 Satellite, 70-1 Duster. Gotta pop out the lens.

Exactly like the 69 Dart you referred to.

Well....bugger me.....I was right in my first thoughts....a post I deleted suggest there may be two variations now.
I found an old rear marker light that I pulled from a 70 RR - assembled at the Los Angeles plant.

....or are the front and rears different?

 

[dadsbee]

Guess I should have known... seeing just yesterday I told my paint guy DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO TAKE THAT MARKER LENS OUT! on my RR rear marker as while they have those little plastic clips that break off they are also double face taped in and they always crack.. on me anyhow.

Yes.

 

[kiwigtx]

Yes.

Front & rear are different then.

Front & rear are different then.

Exactly, the screws are behind the lens on the front marker lights. You have to break the lens as there is no way to get them out without damage. I just came short of damaging a fender before I found out.

It's been 24 years since I last pulled one out. Memory fade....that's my excuse.

My '70 is like that, remove the nuts and the light comes out easy. Mine was built at Lynch Road in January.

I'm talking about front fenders on a 70, the pictures look like the 70 rear quarter markers. Amber for the front not red.

You are correct, I remembered wrong. I deleted my post.

What about a heat gun to soften the two sided tape. I know on the rears a soak in hot water is possible once removed.
