Fixing a subtely bent steering wheel
Has anyone had experience fixing/bending back a steering wheel (Mugen FG360). Let me back up a bit... I was a victim to thieves a couple of months back and in the process they tried to take it by pulling/yanking/snap it off the car. In the end they were UNSUCCESSFUL (thank god) but they did manage to tweek/bend the wheel a bit. It's not majorly bent but it would be nice to have it back to normal.
Since the incident, I've taken the steering wheel off the car. I did try to bend it back at first but I wanted to get a second opinion/tips from others. Anyone had experience w/this? Should i just use brute force? I just don't want to mess it up more than it is. Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

i wouldn't try to bend it back while it's on the car. Try putting the center of it in a vise that's mounted to something substantial, then bend it.
Hmmm, scary, especially with a Mugen 360 wheel. How about laying it face down on a towel, and applying pressure to it, maybe stepping on it. Or, if it's mounted on the car, put a CLUB in the opposite direction it's bent, and pull the bend out of it with care.

Too bad the theifs weren't successful.
Animal-Chin is a loser. I still say he tries to
bang his forhead on it and bend it back.
Maybe he can just steal a new one like he does
with his friends girlfriends. HA HA HA.
If they had a middle finger icon, I would have given you that one instead.
