TR6 front R/H fender removal

["R, Andrew Davenport" <geist@pdq.net>]

I plan to remove the R/H front fender off of my 74 TR6 (to repair a
nasty dent).
What is the most painless way to accomplish this task without further
damaging the panel ?
Is there an easier way to knock through the dent without removing the
fender ?

Your suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
