I finally have gotten some time from work and need to get moving on getting the teener ready for the warm weather. One of my biggest problems is the fact that I have empi's and my tires rub in the back. Now I know I could replace the wheels with the correct offset but since I will be working the fenders or possibly flaring the fenders at a later time I just want to get rid of the rubbing so I can check out other aspects of the suspension without the horrible noise and damage to the tires.
So what are the best ways to pull out a fender slightly without cracking the paint too much? I've heard of the baseball bat but what is the actual technique? Should I remove the wheel and use a hammer and dolly and forget about keeping the paint perfect? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) Oh and the lip is already rolled underbut I need just a little more about 1 inch. |
