Default Please Help Inner Skirt Replacement

I need to replace the passenger side inner skirt (fender well) on my '81. How do I remove the bonding adhesive attaching the inner skirt to the fender? (without damaging the fender). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A wide, flat putty knife and a little heat will help alot. I used a combination of flexible putty knives, wide chisels, and screwdrivers. If you work slowly and use heat from a heat gun, you will probably be successful.
