What's the best way to fix a bent bumper? Heat torch? It's off about an inch on one of the mounts

You cant just push it into position and put the bolts in?

If your facing the front of the quad, the top 2 bolts go in with some force, the bottom right goes in about halfway, and the bottom left cant even get threaded in, i guess this will have to do since its only going to be in the sand, and don't want to pay to get it re-chromed yet.

I've had similar problems in the past. I would try and see if I could get the 3 bolts in the bumper and then get some leverage with a piece of pipe or a large adjustable wrench and pull on it. Or you could try putting it in a vice and hitting it with a soft plastic or rubber hammer maybe a deadblow and see if you can get it to move that way. Sometimes brute force is the only way, but you may sacrafice ur chrome a little. Good luck! You can always heating it up which will definately ruin your chrome, but it will definately bend for ya!
Thanks Higgy
