I have no idea, maybe a rubber mallet would work?

Another way is to use a large enough vise, with some soft wood blocks. Will need to over bend some as there will be some spring back. A hydraulic shop press works well if you have access to one (or so I've heard ).

The mallet technique would probably also benefit from a large soft wood block to support the chassis as you work on it. Something with a little give.

Regardless, the most important ingredient is patience. Go a little at a time, avoid the overdo it temptation.
