you might be able to heat it and bend it yourself, with a propane torch.grendels_arm said:

I already own a Pitbull rear stand as well. Anyway one of the metal posts that one of the wheels sits on is bent at an angle a little. Where do you go to get something like this fixed? I assume a welder. How much do they charge for a small job like this. If it's more than $20 not sure it's worth. Do I let my fingers do the walking to local welder?
Lots of forces you can harness. A simple bottle jack and a large stationary object such as a big SVU, boulder, etc. will work wonders. Try to position under the frame rails, but becareful, lots of "soft" part between the frame. Use blocks of wood to protect parts.grendels_arm said:I bought an FG rear stand last year for the sole purpose that it has a breaker bar. I already own a Pitbull rear stand as well.

Thats a box end wrench in Amerispeakmals900ss said:try a large double ended ring spanner, say 24 -25 mm. that should give you enough leverage.

Just chuck it up in a vice and beat it with a BFH.grendels_arm said:To give everyone a better idea it's the metal post the wheels mount on a rear stand. Probably 2-3 inches long not even half inch thich. Maybe at a 75 degree angle instead of a 90 like it should be. No problem getting wheel off. I'll take pic.
Maybe I can ask the local gas station to use a propane torch.
