just wanted to give yal a close up look on my take of removing the pinch welds ... same principle as a couple other fab posts i've seen but i didnt want to attempt plastic welding
you will need
1. dremel
2. large hammer
3. heavy duty duct tape
4. FLEX SEAL ( as seen on tv product, rubber in aerosol can
https://www.toptvstuff.com/shop/promos/FlexSeal/?tag=im|sm|go|tp|tm&gclid=CKCevuO6lLYCFYpDMgod3j0ALA )
5. hardener ( also in aerosol for your convenience )
6.
24 - 48 hours ( for drying purposes )
begin
we all know of the infamous ( and unnecessary ) tire biter
first you will need to place your jeep on a jack stand and remove the front wheel ( one side at a time with 3 tires remaining on the ground chalked and e-brake on )
notice the new JBA lift for good measure
a clear view of the culprit
use dremel along outline of extrusion
now use large hammer to "fold" the weld inward ( some suggest using a heat source to make this easier, i did not have one available but this still seemed to be fairly easy ) i suggest starting at the top and work down, each time folding more and more until desired flatness is reached
clean with dremel and apply a layer of FLEX SEAL ( this layer is to help prevent rust )
let dry before moving to next stepcreate flat surface to match inner fender with duct tape
spray FLEX SEAL and HARDENER in multiple layers allowing time for each layer to dry sufficiently until desired thickness is reached
once dry replace tire and smile as you should now have less rubbing and hopefully your full turning radius back
hope you liked this
