I took both front headrests to the basement, wrapped each in cotton undershirts between two large wood panels, tightened these to the corner of a table using a pair of 24" ratcheting clamps. I bent them at the base without deforming the rods by using a 1/2" diameter long metal tube inserted into each prong using a small level to check step by step to avoid overextension and discrepancies.
Headrest removal. When reassembling make sure the two hinges catch at the bottom, while the lower flaps slide inside the seat hinge area.
This was the inspiration. I however did not remove the leather and substituted the wooworking vise for the above method.
