    Tutorial: Fender pulling on the cheap

    So your fat wheels love rubbing against your fenders... Let's fix that

    Tools:
    Heat gun
    Phone book ( any type of thick book can be used )
    Car jack

    Once you have all your tools in place jack your car up. Start heating up your fender, make sure to move the heat gun around not heating up one spot too much. You want to have an even heat all around.

    The fender should be hot to the touch but not enough to bubble the paint. Once you think it's hot enough slide your book of choice in between your wheel and fender. ( if it's a hard covered book only use the paper pages ) Now slowly let your jack down sandwiching the book. Keep applying heat, feel free to sit your fat ass on top of the fender. The thicker the book the more pull you'll get. Once you think it's good enough let the fender cool down and take out your book.

    And... You're done, if it seems too easy it's because it is. I got about a half inch pull out of it and cold have gotten more but it's all I needed.

    If the lips of your fenders are bent like mine were, you can straighten them out with a rubber mallet while you're doing this.
