Default help with eastwood fender roller!

I have a 81 camaro and i rented a eastwood fender roller locally and I just spent like an hour or so trying to figure out how to set up the damn thing..i can't get the roller wheel to be at a low enough angle to start rolling it and even with the height all the way down its either too low or too high. i tried the 3 different settings with that pin and 2 screws too with no luck. How did you guys do it? and what settings did you use?

Never used one. I did mine the old fashioned way. A pair of duckbill vise grips and just patiently bending it a bit at a time. Have you tried going to their website and look at the video?

ya i figured it out vall, i had to raise the back from the frame rail to allow the rear to be as low as possible. i rolled them this weekend and it came out great. should have enough clearance for my tires now so im ready to rock :P

The Camaro looks really good with the Cragar SS wheels! The BBC will drop the front a little, so should sit just right then.
