how to bend frame

My left hand peg bracket is slightly bent inwards which means I cant remove the gear lever. Tried heating the metal for 5 mins with a blow torch but it wont bend back. anything else I can try?

 

Thanks

You will have to get it super hot to get it to bend back, take it down the blacksmiths!..

Or loosen the engine bolts and ease the engine up a tad?

I have had this problem before and honestly can't remember how I solved it but it didn't involve heating the frame confuse

Engine would need to go up by about 2cm... you think this would be possible just by loosening the mount bolts?

Alot of work, but you could cut the bracket off, clean it up and weld one back on again..

If you are not able to get it to bend back with heat..
cut the sucker off & re-weld it back on...
