I need some advice on getting my guards rolled on my EF, i have done a search but getting mixed feelings with Tempe tyres, anyone know of anyone that does a good job in Sydney's Southern suburbs, as i am in the shire. Any help is appreciated.
Cheers |

If you're feeling brave, use a baseball bat - works a treat!
Just lift the car enough to fit it between the arch and tyre, then get someone to move the car forward and back slowly and you've rolled your guard! *NOTE: This was done on a snotbox corolla for s**t and giggles. Try at your own risk!*

I called the panel beater just up the road and asked if he could do it, and if he had the correct gear, yes & yes were the replies, I figure they are a better option even if they use a hammer, better than a tyre fitter and a hammer that's for sure.
