You can try it yourself if no one wants to help you?

u just gonna trust some dude you dont know to do this properly? ok.... so IF he messes up your fenders, you think he's gonna get them fixed? i would advise SEEING him actually do someones before you have him do yours...

why not? He's trusting dudes on the internet to tell him how to do it...

I would offer you suggestions how to do it, but you found someone local, Let us know how it goes.

How large of a wheel are you trying to fit? The best way to pull fenders is to put a 10mm spacers and slap on a fender roller. Heat it and use the roller to continuously pull it. Keep in mind there is only so much you can pull before you buckle your quarter panel.
