caveman voice: Heat & Hammer best hack of all time!!!!🔥🔥🔨🔨🔨

The proof of the pudding is in the eating and apparently it balanced well and keeps the air. To harden aluminium alloys you incure more than 10% deformation. Like you normally do with a dent, but you can also just hammer on it and it gets the same effect, smaller grains and less ductile. That is why you quite correctly heat it to aneal the metal to get larger grains and more ductile material. A hydraulic jack is more controlable than a sledge. The easyist way to make a support for the jack to fit the rim, is some mortar in a plastic bag inside the rim and leave it overnight. Hitting a hardened hammer with another hardened hammer is dangerous and it may explode almost like glass and throw splinters all over the plase. A+ for effort and initiative

Beautiful work

graceful precision smack!

This is not the best way, but anyway it works. You are weakening the aluminum and causing minor cracks by meeting it with the iron hammer. Smashing it with the wood is the best way, as the wood absorbs the hit. And final thing , the rim is straight to the eye, but not on a machine,and it wouldn't "roll" good on the road.I mean if it's a front your steering wheel might vibrate etc. This is one of many ways to do it , but wooden block and bigger hammer are needed. Had fun watching overall. :D

Question : Anyone had any experiences in working on chrome wheels ? Can you heat it up at all without turning the chrome blue ? What's the best approach in fixing dented chrome wheels?

@slick408

Жыл бұрын

If it's the wheel face then it always needs a refinish after. I know chrome likes to flake off.

That looks lovely 😁

I get what you tried to do, but it would've been much easier to clamp down the wheel and use a big adjustable wrench to straighten the edge of the rim. A dead blow hammer and a body form would've worked much better to round out the inside section, too.

Thank you this video helped a lot

I learned even more watching your vid. Thanks. Subbed/Likie

great craftsman

You did well removing the bend, however the inside bead where the rubber tire bead meets the aluminum wheel needs inspection and possibly a rasp file or emery cloth rubbed completely around the repaired area otherwise mounting a tire on an uneven and rough surface e will surely create a slow leak that will empty the air in your tire in a couple days!

Question is if it'll still drive smooth with no bumpy ride.

😂😂😂👌 that hammer made my day

A little crude with a sledge hammer and the end result shows. Rather than a sledge hammer, stabilize the back side of a bottle jack against the rim opposite the bend with a similar piece of wood, heat the area with the bend and gently use the bottle jack to apply even pressure to bend. Its a far more elegant approach that is much easier to accomplish the same task.

I have a feeling we're gonna end up with a nice cozy bonfire 🔥 long before the rim is fixed lol. JK 😜. I'll bring the marshmallows:)

its quite cheap to get it rounded again at a proper shop...! lots of potential issues w this approach. ideally, don't use low profiles...! This is also the very real issue, that once heat treated to re-round a rim, the rim will be structurally weaker.

@jrichie333

By heating it, you make it a lot more malleable and less likely to shatter if you beat on it. The issue is that if it's already bent, the rim probably has a lot of stress there and makes it weaker, kind of like how if you fold a piece of sheet metal back and forth it will eventually come apart at the bend. Stick to heating it if you value the rim.

For a rim you are just going to mount on a farm implement and not exceed 20 mph, I guess this would do.

Is it me or someone whispers’ its only inside of the rim lol

He's cold-working the material so it's actually getting stronger in that area due to grain alignment. The problem is that area of the rim also becomes more brittle so it has less impact absorption. No biggie, just don't hit the curb in the same spot on the tire next time. LOL!
