ABSTRACT:
A fender well press (10) for pressing out the fender well of an automobile which has been damaged as a result of a collision. The fender well press (10) includes an adaptor ring (16) defining a plurality of openings (18) in a manner substantially similar to that of the wheel. A cylinder (22) is secured at one end and extends away from the wheel hub. A second cylinder (28) may be provided to closely encompass the first cylinder (22), the second cylinder (28) selectively pivoting about the first cylinder (22). A mounting plate (40) is carried by the first or second cylinder (22,28) for mounting a piston member (44) thereon. The piston member (44) may be any conventional piston (44) such as an air cylinder. A two-way valve (100) is in fluid communication with the piston member (44) at each end and with a fluid source to control the direction and distance of travel. A fender hammer (88) is secured to the piston shaft ( 74) and is comprised of a mounting block (90) and an engagement member (94). The engagement member (94) defines a top surface (96) having a selected contour for engaging the sheet metal to be reformed. An engagement pad (98) is carried by the top surface (96) of the engagement member (94) for protecting the surfaces of the engagement member (94) and the sheet metal.
