Well there isn't really a metal work/fab/repair forum and it's not exactly body work.. but I had some cross member bends to take care of on the trailer.![20220710_114659.jpg 20220710_114659.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/628/628010-f868ccee297c0f38297e2bdf8727c341.jpg)
Probably caught by a piece of oversized equipment when unloading (otherwise center boards would be inplace)

Used screw binders/chains to slightly over straighten bent beam. (Trying to remember Youngs modulus, elastic and plastic limits of steel)![20220710_115028.jpg 20220710_115028.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/628/628016-99358c6f88faf0e58cd9c5a2f5343718.jpg)
Chained back to lifting shackles.![20220710_115154.jpg 20220710_115154.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/628/628017-c2bbf0e871c9a71117b0b688d2414bce.jpg)
Warm up the stretched flange then hammer back to flat, blocking back side with bigger hammer.![20220710_125600.jpg 20220710_125600.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/628/628018-7016a2357c6fccfbc51d35d569214ff4.jpg)

Allowed to cool before releasing binders.
Rince and repeate on rear cross member...
