Default How do you remove plastic inside the front fenders?

I have a small dent in the L/f fender and I want to try and push it out from the inside. I removed the tire and I tried to remove the plastic inside the wheel well but I could not figure it out. I am not sure if the round black things holding it in were screwed in or just pushed in the holes in the fender. I tried a screw driver, phillips head and several sized torx bits but I had no luck. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

They are rivets and need to be drilled out. Then you need to install new ones when you put it back in.

Its just a very well fit piece of plastic. Once the rivets are removed from the front and rear of the well then remove the plastic nuts and start working it out. Around the top of the well on the fender there are small tabs that hook onto the fender lip. Those really keep the well in place and once you get them out its pretty easy to pull.
