Hi,

Finished working on the car and began jacking up the car to remove the jack stand, suddenly the bloody jack slips, the car lands on the jack stand which was luckily still in position but in doing so crushed the frame rail (just behind where 2 notches are) and i see it has probably bent upwards into the body VERY slightly maybe 2-3mm , when i look down the line i can tell...2 questions - should I be worried about the bend and how do i straighten out the frame rail coz its bloody hard to do via big pliers?

Thanks

You won't straighten it out with pliers - even a good set of vice grips probably won't do the job. Best to let a pro do it.
