How to Repair a Deformed Wheel Rim?
1 Answers
Locate the deformed area of the wheel rim, mount the rim on a fixture, and use a calibration dial gauge to identify and adjust the deformed section. Apply localized heating to the deformed area using a blowtorch. The small red dots on the rim are from an infrared thermometer; stop heating once the desired temperature is reached. Once the rim softens at the appropriate temperature, use a small hydraulic jack to perform repeated slight corrections until it meets the proper standards.
