A Chiltons auto repair book is your best friend. Take off the
passenger side fender. Some people cut a hole in the wheel house to
get to the bolts. The Chiltons book is more important to the task at
hand though, and cheap enough to be worth the cost.

Yes, there are more studs. That's why I said that you either have to
remove the fender or cut a largish hole in the wheel house, to get to
the offending nuts.
