Default HELP !! Flat-Side Bowed Elevator

Try this...

Block it and weight it so that it is bending in the opposite direction. You will have to bend the stab also to accomplish this. Using a heat gun (not a hair dryer) apply heat to the elevator, but avoid heating the stab too much. Let it cool completely, then remove and weights or hold-downs and see if it has straightened out any.

You may have to try it several times to get it completely out.
