Rolling the Fender - Submitted by SWortham Tools needed: Note: These tools should be available to rent.

Grab the arm of the tool and rotate it back & forth to start the initial rolling of the lip. Be careful not to bend too much at a time and check your work frequently as you go. 8. Readjust the angle of the wheel for a sharper bend and reheat and repeat step 7. Now it should look like this: Click here to discuss this Do It Yourself Guide.
