I did the big bending in my basement. Literally wedged the triangle in the exposed studs and pulled, pushed. I have a length of all thread with appropriate washers and nuts, so I spread for axle width. Next step will be with the spreader in place and one more small tweak. Then take it to my local shop to check dropout alignment and the derailleur hanger.
Still need some new brake pads. I spent too much this past week on cold weather riding stuff, and a new Tickr X heart rate monitor belt...
