Exclamation Fender roller problem. HELP!!

So I rented a fender roller tonight for my 2012 TL
Suppose to be universal, but the lugs/bolts seem too big for any of the holes. Anybody run into this issue??
Kids are asleep so i'm trying to knock this out tonight!

Lol.. this is why you should pay a professional to do this.. if you mess this up it can cost you about 1200 to fix..

Also these fender rollers are made for m12 studs.. not m14.. which is what the 4g tl uses.

Unless you can drill out the holes that the roller has (which I doubt you can do because its a rental) you wont be able to roll your fenders.

For the love of god.. just pay someone to do it.

Is it a Eastwood fender roller or a knock off? I know the knock offs don't fit over our studs for that same reason.

Doesn't day Eastwood on it. only a couple of the holes fit, so I managed to use what I had and get the job done . took a little longer than expected but the outcome was exactly what I was hoping for.

Wow surprised you got it to work with a knock off. I tried but wasn't close to fitting. Glad to hear you completed the job.

Its so hard to find shops here in CT willing to do a lot of these jobs, mostly they just won't touch the cars, specially if they are modern and expensive…sucks lol
Im looking for someone to roll my fenders soon, and also for someone to install my Tein SA coils.

People post up on Craigslist. Not sure in your area but worth a shot. I went that route and it came out perfect. Any performance shop can do a coilovers install if you can't do it yourself.
