I just use my hands to pull Honda fenders. The metal is very thin. If that doesn't work, pull off the fender liners, and beat the lip of the fender in with a hammer...carefully(a body dolly helps ). It's common sense really.

worked for me use a heatgun to heat the metal though & becareful about cracking your paint. or you can buy the tool from eastwood.

A heatgun will not help you. It will melt the paint before it softens the steel.

It's not cracking that you need to worry about. If your not careful the paint will melt. From experience I've never needed a heat gun for steel, but whatever
