its not bad i have done over a 1/2 dozen . but its easy with my massive tool box and 2 post lift .

can be done tho with basic tools / lots of blocking to support and time.

gives you time to clean / inspect frame / repaint it for a like new look also .

how bad is your frame now ?

i fixed this my self no pulling post or frame table . just hand tools.

took a left hit once and was tweeked good . top of frame was 4.8* out of square from pass side @0.1-0.2 . then side check right was 0.6 off 90* and driver side = bad side was 94.3* and stright edge showed big kink .
