Rolling fenders- pull liners?

Hey All,
Getting ready to roll and pull (about 1/4") my fenders this weekend. All set to go, new Eastwood roller, heat gun and IR thermometer. I have see videos on youtube where some will pull the liners, roll, then re install. Then there are some who roll with the liners in place. Your thoughts? TIA, Mike.

With ours it's hard to pull the liner then reinstall. Our liners in back are really thick. Just roll with them installed. Also when rolling make sure your angle on the roller is at a good angle because if it's too vertical it will push the upper lip out and not flare out the bottom. Do it in small amounts when pulling.

Thanks Phister, I was hoping you would respond. I am rolling/pulling, installing the new wheels, springs, painted calipers, grill etc this weekend. Pics to follow.

you might have to grind the tabs depending on your wheel setup. I have to do some more pulling now since I realigned my rears with less camber so now it slightly rubs on small dips, i might just stiffen up my dampening to see if it helps.
