Give Ken @ hyperdrive in Malaga a call on 92093100. He does guard rolling.

Cheers

You mean flaring the guards ..? Pumping you guards out is a costly enterprise.

To fleer your guards get yourself a rubber hammer and get a heat gun, heat the guards (that will prevent the paint to crack) lips without burning the paint job and softly start hitting the lip from the middle towards the outside till you get the desired bent and save yourself 40 bucks per guard. Some of the panel beaters have a rolling machine which is a lot of bull, I done myself without one with the same results.

Guard roller gives much more consistent results, than a rubber hammer. Less chance of cracking the paint too.

try use a guard roller when you have a semi-mechanical/mechanical clutched diff... your only alternative is the rubber hammer
