prob rolling fender lip

[87GN 98GTP]

i read a post a few months ago about how to roll the fender lip, watched some videos, but when i tried heat and a a piece of aluminum pipe, used the tire as leverage and rollded it and pushed pretty hard, it hardly moves at all and i dont wana wreck anything. That metal is really tough, any other ideas?

I used an Eastwood fender roller, and it was a slow process. Did you remove the wheel well trim first? Just take your time and do small sections at a time.:biggrin:

One of our members is renting the fender roller out in the for sale section. I think it was $50 plus shipping and you send it on to the next person that wants it. Seems to do a very nice job.

I used a wooden baseball bat & a heat gun... I worked in small sections until i tucked the entire fender...

Yes I did... I also used a floor jack so I can adjust how much leverage pressure that I needed to apply...
