[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 422205, member: 9169"] While doing my yearly maintenance before hunting season gets started, I noticed one of my intake grates is fairly bent. I've smacked my foot several times over the years, even destroying one, but have never had a bent grate. Should I pop the pin out to remove the grates and straighten out the bent one? Leave the grates on and somehow get it bent straight (any ideas on how to do this)? Or not bad enough to fool with? The grates are on there nice and tight, no play in them at all, so I'm assuming removing the pin is going to be a chore. If I go that route, any tips on getting the pins out and the grates off? Here is what I'm working with. [img]https://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq356/peck1524/20160922_173136_zpsflbvbaiw.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
