Side skirt ripping; suggestions?

I purchased the parts needed. Thanks for the help. I would rather not remove the fender or my apartment complex will put a tow sticker on my car. With the dremel method I guess you mean cut the old ones off, install the new ones. But it still looks like I would still have to take the fender off. I have done this project many years ago and I wound up installing the upper pin up-side down, with the cotter pin on top.

I just did the same thing with one of mine. I didn't remove the fender, but I held the door up and open with a jack, and since nobody was around to help, I tied the window frame to the garage ceiling to stabilize it. Then I used a dremel with a flex extension and cutoff disc to cut out the pin, drove it out with a variety of punches and extensions, then stuck the new bushings in place and mounted the pin upside down. It's the 3rd time I've replaced door hinge bushings on this car and I've never removed the fender. It's a PITA no matter what.
