Default Rolling fenders. HOW??

I have read about rolling fenders to stop rubbing on large bumps. But I am not sure of how to actually do this. Can a few of you please explain.

Thank you.

Take a baseball bat and "roll" it along your fenders until it is "bent" out evenly so the edge of the tire wont hit it. This ONLY works if you need about a 1/2 inch more clearance for your tire. Dont try to roll it 2 or 3 inches now thats just :ghey:

rolling requires you to use a heatgun to heat up the metal and paint along the arch so it lessens the chance of cracking. you can rent a special rolling tool instead of using a baseball bat. it's mde by haweka and can be rented from www.tirerack.com for the cost of shipping from and back to them. also requires a refundable deposit. it supposedly comes with a video and heatgun.





you can also shavie the lip if you like...using airsaw or rotary tool. just file smooth and paint the exposed edge. no heatgun needed or worries about paint if you are careful.
