#66975, "Tricks to unbending bent intercooler fins?"




          

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
