Yeah I'm gonna use a hardwood dowel or a baseball bat or maybe a pipe or something.

I've heard of guys put tons of newspaper on the corner of their tire and slamming the car down off the jack and it pulls the fender. Not sure if I trust it, and your car has to be real low to begin with.

I had a fender roller but it didnt fit, even with the truck adapter. Oh well, maybe someone on here can make a 5x130 adapter for the fender roller and rend that bad boy out!

I think if I ever roll my fender I'm going to use a dowel. That way I can get just the clearance I need. I don't want the lip sticking out too far or protruding too much.

Dont use a dowel, use the proper tool.

I look forward to finished pics.

The proper tool being?

From post #1

blowtorch, a crowbar, and a mallet/anvil

I have looked at adapting a commercial roller to the Pcar hub, shouldn't be that hard to do.

That does look like a Special Tool...

That is what I was going to do to the one sitting on my shelf.

Nice job.

For those who want to try a dowel or baseball bat, I've got a couple of bats with groves I can sell cheap. My fender did not change at all but it put nice groves in the bats. I ended up using a 5lb hammer.

Laugh if you want. It works. I'm not spending 100 bucks or more to bend metal...

That was the eastwood roller I'm talking about.

Has anyone been able to fit it on correctly??

I know you said you already have the truck adapter, but it should work.
Are the slots too large to fit 130mm?
From Eastwood's site:
"Our 25271 Truck Adapter is for larger applications. It will accommodate up to a 140mm (5.5") 5 lug bolt circle and up to a 152.4mm (6") 6 lug pattern"

The studs do not align with all the slots. I was going to redrill a couple to get it to work. Maybe this weekend I can give it a shot.

I used the Eastwood roller trying to stuff 315's on the rear of my friends '89 with less than ideal offset. I mentioned in another thread you need to get the truck hub adapter, but someone said it still dosent fit. What i did was cut the bolt holes so they were essentially slots instead. This fit on the hub fine and does not effect the function or mounting of the roller. Nothing an air saw or sawz-all couldnt handle.
