Fixing wheel flat spot

Hey guys!

 

I don't know if this has been discussed or if someone has a better solution for buckled rims with a flat spot.

 

I came across the video below on YouTjube on how to fix a damaged wheel flat spot with a home made tool and decided to give it a try. I actually managed to fix the wheel to a very good extent.

 

If you guys want to make your own tool follow the Aussie's instructions. Builder's warehouse only sells piping in 2 to 3 meters length, but I found a piece of 150mm steel plumbing tube in the plumbing section and it does the job. I also couldn't find the 25/32 mm T connector at builder's so I had to use 25mm x 1/2 T on both ends. It will work.

 

Here's the video:
