So, as some of you may know, I just purchased and cleaned up a new
rear end(pictures coming soon) for my '79 210. While my friend and I
were working on it, we noticed one of the swing arm brackets was bent
slightly. In an effort to bend it back, my friend stuck a socket
wrench handle through the hole and put a jack handle over it to create
leverage. As you may have guessed, the bracket bent back into place
but now i'm left with a warped hole. Part of the hole now protrudes
into the inner part of the bracket and the swing arm will no longer
slide all the way in. We tried using a vice to flatten it out, but
that bent the handle. It's so frustrating to have this not work, this
is the last thing I need to fix to get it back on the road. Any
suggestions?
