Not sure of Les' recommendation however I can share with you that using a jack to bend a bent frame is the incorrect way to do this. This topic has been discussed several times here, -and heat & metal shrinking is the only proper method to repair a frame where it will last. Think of a bend in the metal the same as a wrong, ...and we all know that two wrongs do not make a right.
Yes tried the jack at the time and need to fix that spot also.
