I bent my fks brake hitting a rail, how do I bend it back without a heatgun, I don't want to melt the plastic. P.S. Tried bending it with pliers, too stiff to bend
Bent FKS brakes 95mm

Here's what i do.
Get a clamp or vice and a ski pole with most of the shaft cut off (you just need the grip and maybe 8 inches of the shaft).
Clamp the brake just before the point where you need it to bend, then slide the pole over the brake arm, and bend slowly. The added length of the pole gives you the leverage to bend it.
