Arch rolling

[jjg8]

I am in desperate need of my wheel arches rolled, can't seem to find anyone, and when i do they don't get back to me, i'm based in birmingham, but can travel. Or if anybody knows if someone owns a arch roller, that would be good to, cheers

Seen it done by jacking up one side to lift the arch off the tyre, warming the arch with a heat gun to make the paint & metal flexible then lowering gently onto a short scaffold pole whilst a helper rotates the pole along the tyre.

Crude - but effective.

Of course, it does depend how much clearance you need to make.

In addition to the above, #2 son tells me there's a few rollers for hire on gumtree & ebay.

Cheers for the replies, found a place that does it in smethwick, for future reference, the number is 07595367953. Told me i could it my self by trimming the wheel arch and just pullling the arch out a little, so no need to spend any money
