Dually fender removal procedure?

[abrankod]

Hey all, someone decided to back into the side of my truck a few days ago, and I'll need to remove the right side dually fender to get inside it to repair the fiberglass. I'm just wondering if anyone has a procedure for removing the fender. I can't seem to find anything about it in the service manuals.
