Unbending Lower Links
 
I am wondering if there is a way to under lower links without destroying the lower links? If anyone has any hints or tips please be as detailed as possible with instructions. Pic would really help me. Thanks in advance.

What material are the links? A vise would get them close then I'd switch to a hammer and tap them while rolling them along a flat surface.

keep in mind aluminum will stress fracture alot faster then steel would, so they may even crack bending them back, i think the simplest way would be just spend the 10 and buy straight ones, or if you want longer then what is offered make some ur self

if your working with steel links you could try flatting them out with a vise and using a towel or something to protect the links from the vise jaws...if you working with aluminum I bet they break if you try to straighten them out.

links are cheap I would drop $10 and get some from the vendors section"thumbsup"
then you can see what style you like best...and if you want your money back sell your extras in the classifieds?

I am prety sure the links are alluminum. So I am not going to try and unbend the links. I will just buy some different links and see which set of links I like the best on my crawler.
