    i took the wheel off and used a rubber mallet, it sounds like a terrible idea but as long as you take your time and gradually roll the fender your fine, I also used a heat gun but i dont think it was necessary.h

    I think it was either bill or bio that suggested it to me, he said he prefered that method over the fender roller.

    ^ simple way of doing it. Yea you do want to use heat it helps the paint from cracking. I believe Alixor also used something from HF to roll his.

    i like to use a mallet or a hammer wrapped in a rag to get the lip started.

    then i go in about half way through and finish it up with the roller so it's a smooth roll.
