Front fender removal

what is the best way to remove a fender on 81 300D?

I have been using a propane torch and its taking a long time to remove it that way. What is the quickest and most efficent way to remove without damaging the paint to much?

The best way for you ,My friend, to remove whatever is left of the fender...
'Would be to take the vehicle to a Mercedes authorized body shop.

The recommended procedure

If you have fenders which are partially attached with epoxy is to use a heat gun which I recall had to have a heat out put of 700 degrees which would loosen the epoxy and not burn the paint.
