Actually it isn't a PITA. You just put the quick attach against the bucket and push with either the tractor or the hydraulics until everything is lined up. The op is having more of a pain than that!
To the op: I would put the quick attach back on the tractor and chain the one side to the fel frame and use the force of the hydraulics to straighten the frame
This does not work usually.

I have to agree there. I don't know if I sheared a bolt early on, or if I even have a timing rod. It is too dark to go out and look right now. I have never had an issue getting an implement on the FEL, and mine are always out of timing if I don't have an implement attached. I never knew they were supposed to be in time.

It's not too bad. I have tried it both ways. Since you tip the top parts in first, the first side to touch
stops moving, and the other one catches up.
Sometimes, I wish my Kioti had QA....

Well a person would want to be careful doing it so that other parts don't get bent up but I don't see why it wouldn't work as it was the hydraulics that bent the frame in the first place!
No.
There was a mechanical advantage involved, bucket or pallet forks or grapple or bale spear or what ever else, when it was bent. The hydraulics did not do the bending. The side that bent is the side that stayed latched.
Torque from all the lifting, digging, ect, on one side of the QA is what bends it.

That sleeve idea seemed to be an option . Question - could you just cut and sleeve and use two shear bolts to hole the sleeve in place. The next time the bolts will shear and all you do is replace them. No welding required?
I wish my Bobcat had the round tube. Mine is square and I need to re twerk it to get my bucket level (one side is a few inches higher when on the ground). and yes I have chained one side down and racked it using the hydraulics to re bend but no go. Right now I shim the QA on one side to help level.
