| Firstly, this is NOT a dig at anyone,,,, if you have a imperfection, ie; flat spot. that you want to repair.  . you will need; 1: a bottle jack. 2: heat gun. 3: knocking stick(wooden mallet in this case, because its round shape) 4: spacers(wood). insert your jack, spacers, mallet.  . add a bit of heat(not to much to melt your wheel).  . when you think its warm enough, pump the jack up.  .  . when you think the rim is near enough true, let it cool down (5 to 10 mins), then remove your jack.  . hope this is useful to everyone |
