Hi Justin, here is an alternate method that the
fellow that used to do all my Dad's welding:
he would determine where the bend was and take the
cutting torch and cut a trench on the upper side
of the bend of about 1/4 of the depth of the
material, then put pressure down on top of the
trench until fork is straight. Now take the angle
grinder an clean up the trench and weld the trench
closed.
Using this method the temper is only remove from a
small part of the fork.
