    How long ago was the repair done? Does it align properly?

    Yes it was. I bent it away from the truck with channel locks and proceeded to pound the other end with something skinny (extension for socket wrench). Came out in 5 minutes. Went back in easy.

    thanks for the idea will follow up once done. Haven’t taken it in for alignment yet as I’m waiting for uca. I bought it already repaired

    That is made out of paper mache, I wouldn't cut it and introduce a failure point.

    It isn't "easy" to bend but it will bend if you make it.

    That's the most polite way I can say it.
