Have you read Markwon's post on his arches? Definitely a good starting point…

Only cut out what needs to be removed... if you can stay away from the flat areas of rear quarter panel it will make things 100 times easier

what I did to remove mine (although pointless really as I needed to replace inner arches too :cry:
was to use an angle grinder and cut vertically about 2mm in from the leading edge of the outer arch.. if that makes sense?
