Roll a lip?

[Buick Beginner]

It seems my rear end is un-even and my 275-60 DRs are going to scrub a bit on one of the rear wheel wells. So what's the best way to roll the lip? It seems simple enough but I figured I'd check with the experts first. - BB

Lots of ways to roll it...best way is a good ole fashioned base ball bat. Jack the car up, insert the bat and ease the car down a bit until it puts a little pressure on the bat against the 1/4 panel. Slowly spin the wheel/roll the bat and push down on the bat while rotating it along the 1/4. The more pressure you put on it, the more you will roll the lip. Pray there is no bondo along the 1/4 lip (can you say crack!)

I personally trimmed mine with an air saw.

The bat works great

I have used that trick personally many times. If the car isn't heavy enough, you may may need to enlist the help of a hefty friend or two to sit on the edge of the trunk, (not on the lid, but under the open lid, ). Wooden bats work best, but pipe of about the same size will do the job too, in a pinch.

Thanks

I believe I've got a ball bat around here somewhere! - BB
