Short question:

If an Eastwood fender roller doesn't fit, with a Part Shop Max roller fit?
Anybody the the length of the arm on the PSM? The Eastwood roller goes up into the wheel well even at shortest setting.

not sure of the specs on the Max roller but it is shorter specifically to be used with coilovers. You can use the eastwood if you disconnct your coilovers but its still a pain in the arse.

You don't need to disconnect your coils, just raise the ride height, it's not that hard.

Not everything you do on cars is gonna take 5 minutes.

I'm assuming this is with the fronts? Don't do the fronts with a roller, take the fenders off and do by hand. They come out much better this way.

yea pulling the fronts on a 240 is kinda risky. the fenders are so flimzy it pulls on the mounting points and deforms the metal.

^thats what happened to my fender.
lol i need to get a new fender and this time tack weld the mounting metal tabs for security.

shit.

I've got the parts shop max roller if I need to measure the arm of the roller for you guys... someone PM me and let me know.

BlckBeautyVTEC · 05-01-2008, 10:51 PM

i rolled my fronts perfectly with the PSM roller, but everyone says do front by hand

***FaLKoN240*** · 05-01-2008, 11:05 PM

Hammer and hand dolly, that's all you need for fronts.

I did my fronts by hand. Super easy. And disconnecting coils in the rear is faster and easier than adjusting ride height to suit the eastwood. Its one bolt.

DaPCWiz · 05-02-2008, 06:40 AM

I did my fronts with an east wood roller... wasn't really that hard. I guess my car isn't super duper low tho...

My body shop actually did my rears by hand... haha. I kinda wish I did the rears with a roller, it would've been a bit more even, oh well.

a_ahmed · 05-02-2008, 08:00 AM

ill be getting my eastwood fender roller soon... its going to be an adventure to do the fronts, the rears im not TOO worried about but i will find out soon enough.. shit my front driver's side fender is even slightly cracked like ahoy hoy... im in for a poopoo

firelizard · 05-02-2008, 06:53 PM

This is the rear quarter actually. On a Protege. I don't want to buy a fender roller and find out I can't use it at all.

DOOK, PM'd.
