[QUOTE="overboard, post: 422233, member: 6547"] You could try putting something flat and strong, like a pry bar or big screwdriver, on the bent grate and then hitting it with a hammer. I straightened some like that and they came out pretty good. I did end up punching the pins out to get the foot welded by using a phillips head screwdriver that I cut the end off and made a starter punch out of it, then finished punching them out with a longer 1/4" steel rod. From what I experienced, those grates aren't that strong and can be bent back into shape fairly easily. [/QUOTE]
