Best way to straighten out bent sills/jackin point?

[Daz.]

Annoyingly over the last few months at some point my front jacking points have become a lot more bent than they used to be.

I want a go at straightening them out and painting/protecting them.

Any tips?

Mole grips and a hammer?

That will just bent it all over the shop?

I thought about using a small block of wood and hammer but that will simply flatten the curved but into itself and make it worse!

Pics are very much necessary.

some kind of portable clamp?

I straightened mine out a few weeks back! Molegrips, hammer, waterpump pliers and something hard and flat to whack against it! Then painted it with some hammerite

I have this problem, I think I shall have a go with the mole grips!

Be prewarned...they aren't as flimsy as they look! Lol mine took some heVy hammering but least it looks good now

This thread prompted me to take a look at mine, front drivers side has been squashed flat by some numpty previous owner

But what use is it in a 182? Not like I have a spare wheel anyway

block of wood and a hammer hitting from the centre of the car outwards on a 4 post ramp works a treat
