Bent A-Arm

[canada]

Hi I bent the A-arms on my 05 rx1 the other day, pushed the ski straight back about 4 inches. I was hoping to use some frame straighting equipment to pull the ski forward, but I'm not sure where to chain the sled down when pulling so as not to break anything else. any thoughts on were to hook the chains, or if this will even work would be appreciated.

Thanks

Don't do it!

If you want to straighten it, thats fine, but take it apart first. It is NOT difficult to take the arms off.

If you try to straighten the A-arms while on the sled, you are likely to need to replace the bulkhead. Definitely take them OFF the sled and then straighten them. The cast aluminum bulkhead will NOT hold up to the applied load to straighten them. It is likely you will cause some other unseen damage to the chassis as well.
