Re: Rolling Fender With A Bat Need Help
Never done it. There is a lip on the inside of the fender liner. A low offset rim that stick out could rub against it. Using a bad does not sound like a bad Idea. The lip is just metal.
My guess is to:
- Take the wheel out
- You facing the brake insert the bat towards the springs. At this moment you should be holding the bat were you normally do.
- Let the bat touch the fender lip. Then grab under the bad just under the location where the bat is touching the lip.
- Push up. You might need a good amount of force.
- Then just move the bat to the either side and continue (repeat other steps)
That is all I could think of.

nope you leave the wheel and tire on the car, and jack up the car until the bat barely fits into the gap between the tire and the fender, then you use the tire to leverage the bat, by pushing down on bat...this will push the fender up....but make sure you heat up the fender real well with a heat gun and also make sure to wrap the bat with a towel couple times to help not crack the paint...and if you do crack your paint...just sand it down...then prep it with alcohol real well since it is dirty down there...then spray some primer...but mask off all the areas you dont want paint with some tape and newspaper...then use some spray paint that matches your car...and this is all okay since nobody will really see your car under there...

I think using a L pipe from home depot works better. It gives you may more leverage for turning. Just get a big fat one, like 3+ inches. A tip to help from cracking the paint. Get a strip of thin sheet metal and keep it inbetween the fender to be rolled and the pipe/bat. You might want to oil or crisco one the (the side that the pipe or bat touches). Most cracks and chips don't come from the bending but the pipe or bat itself grabbing the paint and peeling it as your turn it..
