Long story short, I managed to bend the ramps to my dad’s trailer this weekend trying to load a well loaded 96 K1500 that blew a tranny line. His ramps are self-storing similar to these:

And here is the back of the actual trailer before:

Well, now the ramps stick out about 1 foot because of the bend and I need to get them straight again. I don’t believe they are easily removable without some welding, so I can just take them out, turn them over and press them. And suggestions for getting them straight again?

(FYI, don’t put 3300lbs of patio block in a k1500 chevy)
