How is the Eastwood roller used in practice?

We have one...we use it, and I like it.
Brian,

A quick question when you use the Eastwood roller. Do you need to load
the suspension to get the tool to the right radius? That is, do you jack the
suspension arm when you roll the lip? And if so, where is a good point to
put the jack, so nothing gets bent?

Thanks!

The EASTWOOD tool is adjustable enough that I have not found that necessary..

I should add that there are still times I use my old fender rolling wooden baseball bat. The Eastwood tool can't get around the calipers completely and I use the bat to finish up...
