I have an 06 X-fire that I am extending out to 151". With this is a new rear bumper. What is the best way to straighten the rear cooler?

Did my 07 M8 with a hydraulic press, placing pieces of wood on each side so the fins do not collapse. Take your time and it'll straight out with no problem. The tubes might not be in line, so put it in a vice and bend them ever so gently with a larger diameter pipe.

Did you use heat during this process?
