I haven't done this but would suggest getting them completely "back-onto-itself".

Nothing worse than "hanging up" on a partially-bent lip when the wheel travels "down" and tears things apart......

which method did you use? Just curious since I tried to point you to all the different options. Do you have original paint?

Andy.
The paint is all original. I used a 2' piece of broom stick and a block of wood for leverage. It was hot out, so I parked it in the sun to heat it up.
I basically bent the lip up, little by little, rolling back and forth to about 70 degree angle ...or so.
I was crapping myself, let me tell you. It only rubbed off a tiny bit of paint on the very interior edge. Touch-up fixed that.
It was really much easier that I thought. You just cant nancy it.
Thanks for the help!!
