I tried the baseball bat technique and it didn't work. I saw videos where it worked on subarus and volkswagons but i think the fenders are thinner gauge metal. The weight of my car body (on mach1 springs) was not enought to roll the fenders. I used a covered flat piece of wood, a towel covered hammer (both had the towel neatly stapled in place) to work the fenders. Be sure to heat the hell out of the paint so it doesn't crack. Good Luck.
