Message and a floor jack under the diff. You raise the car just enough to fit the baseball bat between the fender lip and the top of the rear tire. You work you way around slowly bending the lip with the bat. Then lower the jack a little and start over again bending it more and more. Do this until you get it all the way bent back. Took me about 30 minutes to do both sides. You will gain about half inch of clearance with the lip bent back.

The paint will crack at the crease of the bend. No way around that. I used clear silicon on the cracked paint. You can't see it because it is inside the fender.
