Fixing Bent Airift Hooks

[ThunderSquirrel]

My airlift hooks look like they've taken quite a bit of use and abuse. They're canted in a lot.
I really didn't want to spend the coin on "new" whole brackets.

I was thinking of a porta power between them and maybe a little heat to get them back to center.
Good Idea? Horrible Idea?

Just heat them up with a blow torch...use a crowbar and small sledge hammer to make them right.
your not going to be sling loading from a helicopter anytime soon.
