Here are photos of a bent bracket that attaches the hydraulic augur to the dipper on my excavator. The o-ring that held the pin in through the bracket broke and one side of the bracket is bent. I've tried putting the one side of the bracket against an immovable object (a rock) and beat the bent bracket 6 pound sledge hammer. Great exercise but there was no movement. Does anyone have any suggestions? I considered heat but this may soften the metal to the point of making it too weak to do the job it was intended for. If anyone knows how to solve this challenge I think tractor by net members will. Thanks!
