Default Front Fenderwell Removal

I am attempting to paint the fender wells while I have the front clip off, and I can't seem to get them out of the fender without bending some aspect of the fender itself. it seems that the fender wheel arches have an upward bend, but I can't slide them up and out because the top of the fender is already pushing down on the fenderwell itself (where the fender well bolts to the fender just under the hood. It can't be this hard to get them out, is it? I don't want to use force

I could never do it without feeling like I was going to mangle my fenders. I take the fenders off.

You need to pry the fender open to remove or install it. It's almost second nature to me, so I'm trying to remember. I do know that I pry the fender open at the bottom, and I pretty sure that I unload the bottom first. To install, I load the top, pry open, and load the bottom.

Once you pry the bottom of the fende open, you'll figure it out.

Yeah, The core support was in the way, but with the fender separated from the core support they came out, I finally got it done. Thanks
