I was lucky enough to have a couple bench vices in my shop. I just clamped the links in finger tight, and bent them with my hand (pushed). some ppl like an "S" shape. I did 2 bends. One vertical for height clearance, and one horizontal for motor clearance. The stock links hold up just fine, and theres no paint to scratch off. |
