3. A caulking method for a heat exchanger in which a crimping member is rotated by bringing a pressing portion into contact with a connecting portion between a tank and a core plate, thereby caulking the connecting portion with a claw portion of the caulking member. A rolling contact portion is rotatably provided in the cylindrical portion in the vicinity of the contact surface between the cylindrical portion of the caulking fitting and the side surface of the core plate so as to make rolling contact with the side surface of the core plate. The rolling contact portion of the cylindrical portion rolls and presses near the contact surface on the side surface of the core plate when the caulking fitting is exposed to the surface of the cylindrical portion by an angle that can correspond to the movement of the surface, and when the caulking fitting performs the caulking operation. A method for caulking a heat exchanger, comprising caulking the connecting portion between the tank and the core plate with a claw portion of the caulking fitting while making contact.
