66975, Tricks to unbending bent intercooler fins?
Posted by jsupetran, Mar-13-04 11:39 AM
Anyone have a secret trick to unbending them? I use a thin tweezer and found good results but the bad thing is that it is so small. Any thoughts out their?

i think they make a tool to fix the fins on a radiator so that would probably work for a intercooler
