a little heat and they will bend better without breaking, to much heat and they will melt. I would do them seperately in a vise. Pliars in one hand torch in the other, bend slowly, don't overheat. Wave flame till you feel the pliars bending the metal then remove heat. if metal stops bending use a little more heat. DO NOT FORCE!!!!!!

There is a sweet spot in the temp that allows you to do all kinds of bending. That sweet spot is just a few degrees before melting. Same stuff computers are made of and I have lots of experience straightening computer heads & variators.
