How To Use The Eastwood Fender Roller - Tips and Tricks

[@evanmacdonald6767]

Another important step is cleaning the lip before rolling, lots of dirt gets in the backside and sometimes small pebbles.

[@B15SDMDESIGNS]

Always clean behind the fender before you start rolling them incase its filled with crap and will be sandwiched in. Also seal the fold aswell to stop water entering it

Eastwood is a great company. Perfect tools and expertise. Thankyou. Ill buy again.

one of the best videos i found on rolling fenders 🙏🏼👌🏽

[@toddclark332]

Always good to own something like that especially a guy like me because I love big tires under a car thanks for sharing with us bud

What temperature range should we be shooting for on the actual paint itself? I have an IR thermometer.

Looking to roll my fenders this weekend, I’ve heard 140-160°F. Just got enough to be uncomfortable to the touch after a second or two. Wish me luck

@@volleyballurrrr how did it turn out?!?

[@volleyballurrrr]

@@stevenmize1 turned out pretty well! I did slightly crack the paint in the same place on both sides of the rear arches, about 1.5” crack but not too bad and mostly stayed closed. I had trouble keeping it up to 140, I would recommend a helper for it. IIRC I ended up being around 110-120 tops most of the time. Just went very slow and took pics of the different angles I was getting along the way to try and do the same process on the other side.

How effective are these when working with older cars like from the 60’s? The steel is definitely thicker!

[@eastwoodco]

You should be able to do multiple passes, applying more pressure as needed, to get the results you're looking for.

Can you flare the fenders with a fender roller?

[@EightBucksTwenty]

Bit late, but yeah I did wasn't hard 👍

[@austinbraun3244]

So I’m planning on rolling my front fenders for some clearance this weekend - I understand taking out your liner will help with the process itself, but is reinstalling the liner doable? Just trying to prevent dirt/salt/etc getting to places where it’s not ideal. If it’s doable, would I have to make modifications towards the liner or should the reinstallation be as simple as taking it off?

[@eastwoodco]

This is going to be dependent on HOW MUCH you roll them and the make/model of the car etc. You will most likely need to modify your fender liner, the way it attaches, or add additional material. Anytime you're modifying a vehicle you will have to solve for these types of problems regardless of the tools used.

[@austinbraun3244]

@@eastwoodco gotcha - I appreciate the response and info 🤙🏼 I’ll be using the Eastwood gender roller for the 2017 gli this weekend, can’t wait

[@eastwoodco]

Let us know how it went and leave a review with some pics!

[@gregbetts8057]

how does rolling the inner lip change the profile ? oversize tires still going to rub on the profile without increasing the ride height ?????

[@volleyballurrrr]

It adds maybe a cm of clearance, but crucially if it does rub, the tire won’t get damaged by the stamped metal edge of the fender

[@AvgJoe455]

Looks like it works good on newer cars with paper thin metal, how about a 60s car with real steel?

[@wrrbo]

a hammer is a man's best friend

[@noletovictor]

What is the right temperature to start rolling? In celsius, please.

[@frediefarmer]

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽

[@vxsr33]

Its really not worth rolling your front fenders if doing so you have to remove your fender liners. You dont want dust, debris and water getting up under there

[@eastwoodco]

When modifying cars there's always trade offs - if you're car is extremely low and needs clearance to turn you're probably not too worried about the dirt.
