[QUOTE="allenp42, post: 178316, member: 8785"] Here's an idea only slightly more complicated than what CJ posted above. This is an import car jack (I think), with HDPE tape (tough Polyethylene) on each contact surface. The intent is to protect the bars from scratches. Leather works so does many other items. Slowly jack them apart. It helps to have someone watching/helping by adding a little more oomph on one side or the other, if needed. I've done this maybe once or twice and never had a problem. I now use a mount that is attached to section of angle iron so it can be clamped in a vice. Then use a tubing bender to tweak each bar individually. Takes a little more skill, good vice, and a 2nd set of eyes, and takes a little more time. Results are usually pretty good. [/QUOTE]
