Several years ago I installed a used Biesemeyer Fence on my TS. I want to replace the "walls" of the fence. How? I have not figured out how the sides are attached. Where do you buy the replacements? Is there a better substitute? Surely someone here has crossed this bridge before.

Bolted from inside--flip the fence upside down and you can get inside to loosen the retaining bolts. You can replace with some material of your choice--I'd go with phenolic but that's just me. I swapped the faces on my stock PM fence (Biese knockoff) to get a flatter one.

Screws are buried under the laminated fence
heat will remove the HPL
This link pretty well covers the work

Yup, as Joe notes - the screws you need to remove can only be accessed by removing the laminate. It's a pretty painless process - I did it to my Bies when I first got my PM66 years ago and replaced it once again after about 10 years use. Heatgun - or even physical force if you plan to replace the entire face (can pry the laminate from the substrate with a putty knife and small lever.)
Leveling the face again might be a bit intimidating, but just take your time and it'll be fine!

If you replace the fence keep the old ones to use as a template. I made mine from BB plywood with Formica.
