I would NOT bend the brackets, the chances of you getting it correct are slim at best, also my experience with an 08 bracket was ...it was hollow, ...... use a washer or two to solve this issue ....Mike :thumbup:
The fender brackets are made of a pretty soft metal when I hit that deer at 1:00 am back last may while sintering my new brakes, I had not only broken plastic to clear from the tire, the bracket was bent over the tire and rubbing when I tried to move it.
I was able to clear the fender bracket from the tire just by using my hands to bend it back to get me home and order the parts for the new fender.
