I'm in for a step by step from the user point of view..
Take a lot of pictures maybe a video on how that Eastwood pulls the fender as I plan to go for a more aggressive stance.

I rolled my fenders with a heat gun and rubber mallet brought from Home Depot.
Then I went with a 285 tire and pulled it with a baseball bat.

hey guys ,

I didnt start the pull yet, first I am going to relip my wheels this week, then I will be able to use the wheel as a template as to how much of a pull i actually need.

And I will do a detailed step by step on how to use it and im hoping to prove whether or not you can get a very agressive pull with just the eastwood roller alone.

One way or another im going to make it work , stay tuned

Not sure if this is related but my friend and I did a flare (not sure if same as pull) on his S14. All this using a fender roller and constant heat on the fender. (rear fender)

toobs show us how and what your doing man it would be nice to see.

and yea that youtube video was so far the worst way to get a pull.

I actually like the flare on the s14 but only if it was a little cleaner , i would much rather have that flare then to put on a widebody or get into serious fender mods.

ill post back soon with some of my results

I rolled my fenders and quarters with an eastwood. I need to cut and re-roll.. too aggressive fitment for the height. Plus Im not on stretched tires. I even did the phone books after i rolled to pull even more.. Heat makes the paint softer so it doesnt crack when its being flexed.

I cant find the thread where this new guy flared his fenders by hammering it down. green sc and paint chips everywhere.


SoarDaSC had a lot of poke (didnt catch the widths/offsets) but its sticking abou 2" past the fender more or less:


And rolled/pulled for a few hours:

we tried the pull with the Eastwood. it only gave lime maybe 1/4 inch. Eastwood maxed out, the arm can't take much force before the bolt strips. the pbm roller has a longer shaft to pull. I need Alot another 3/4 inches to clear the wheels.
