Boot frame damage, would 4 ton puller work


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've just taken in a ford ka with a rear end.

Managed to get the boot open to find the lower part of the car panel is inwards by a couple of inches, would a 4 ton puller work or do I need more like a ten ton puller?

Any advice would be great

Do the old 'rope around a tree' trick. 4t puller may well move it but maybe not all the way of it's badly creased pal. What are you planning to pull off / from?

Might be best off getting it on a jig to make sure it's right at the end of the day. Nothing worse than cars that aren't properly repaired!

The puller worked really well, although not perfect it has brought the boot lid into line and now looks pretty straight. I just used a tree some rope and hooked it up gave a few ratchet pulls and it came good.
