Bent slipjoint liners

So......I was working on a slipjoint and I accidentally bent the liner a bit. Everything is shaped, soldered, ect. It's ready for pinning as soon as the parts get back from Peter's. I'm not sure how much its going to be bent, but it seems a bit off just holding it on a flat surface. I'll know for sure when I get the parts here. Is there anything I can do to flatten it? I think this one might just have to have some gaps if there's nothing I can do. Suggestions?

If it's made of stainless or brass, just roll it over the corner of your workbench.

put some DiCem on the liner and lightly rub it on some used 400grt sand paper. if it is bent you see it right away. then you can worry about fixing it if need be. as Don said a quick rub over any corner of your bench will bend it back.... probably too much
