I took one hammer and placed it behind the tooth snug up against it and tapped that hammer with another hammer - in my head this gave me the feeling of more control. First thought was to grab a set of vice grips and grab on an bend it back. Decided not to do it that way after a quick discussion with the fellow helping me with the car. We didn't want to take the chance of ruining/damaging the outer finish on the teeth. Even with padding it could cause marking or compromise the surface coating.

Really do not believe this would weaken the teeth to a point that would ever cause a failure.. Only moved it about .25 to 1.25 mm depending on the tooth.
