Heat 'em up. Make sure nothing explosive / really flammable is not close
by (have a garden hose handy for stuff ya miss). Use propane, or even
better, the oxy-acetylene torch (you *will* need one if you've got one o'
Brad's projects)
Granted the paint will get wrecked, but you will save a lot of fuss.
Watch that smoke... and don't you dare do this inside.
Once the screws are loose, put them back in so that the fender doesn't
fall off when you get the last one in.
