Thanks for posting this PDF. I think I get it. I gather that the rubber was not intended to be removed from the bracket, but rather the bracket is supposed to be removed from the fender with the rubber intact. I am going to scrape the tar from the back of the remaining pin holding the bracket to the fender and just pull the bracket forward away from the fender as the text says.

I am not sure what removing the fender is all about, as that does not seem necessary for what I am doing. Maybe that is referring to a bigger disassembly procedure. I know it is always tempting to get carried away and do a full blown frame-off complete restoration but this time I am going to keep it simple and just get the bumper strip back tight and the end cap back on.
