Re: Aluminum bat for fender rolling?

After trying several methods over the last 3 + years, I have found that heating the fenders then simply placing a rubber mallet head (sans handle) between the tire and fender lip while SLOWLY driving back and forth a few feet, works best for me... good luck take your time it may take you several attempts...
