Re: fender bead
Mark, This might be known as "fender rolling" ? I believe they use progressively larger rollers(sticks), between the desired wheel tire combo, and the fender lip.By rolling it through, with gradual size increase, kinking is prevented. FWIW. roverman.

Re: fender bead
I wedged a baseball bat between the tire and the fender lip and slowly worked it over. This was on a TR6. It doesn't do anything good for the bat.

Re: fender bead
The Eastwood company makes a pretty slick fender bead roller.
It bolts on the wheel hub and extends out to the fender with a urethane roller. It's not that expensive to buy and several places even rent them out. |
