The tabs are of a fairly soft metal and can easily be straightened and re-be=
nt by hand.  I would recommend putting a 2" strip of painter's tape on eithe=
r side of the bead to protect your paint as you remove and re-install the be=
ading.  ISTR removing the fender bolts back to the firewall so as to be able=
 to hold the fender well clear of the nose piece. =20

David -

I do both, loosen the bolts and unbend the tabs.  I have unbent and rebent
those tabs many times over the years and never had them work harden or
break.

The one area you may have a problem with this is the set of tabs and bolts
towards the back (below the windscreen stanchions).  On mine I am able to
get the tabs out w/o loosening and I re-insert them without bending.  Not
sure how others fair back there.  Perhaps for nose removal they can be left
as-is though you'll have to deal with the beading being loose & sharp.

Don't bend the tabs any more than you have to. +1 on the tape
