How to Straighten Fins on the Oil Coolers??
 

So, as I've said in other posts I pretty much replaced all the major components of my car (tranny, engine, clutch, slave/master etc.). My oil coolers look like they've seen their fair share of rocks and debris and over half of them are bent closed. I just wondered if there's a good tool to use to open them all back up? Like I guess I could use a screwdriver or something to that affect I was just curious if people had other suggestions. I plan to get the oil cooler screens immediately afterwards so I don't have to repeat this procedure.
Here's a picture of what one of them looks like, the other looks the same.

Radiator Fin Straightener
(there are other tools of varying ease of use and designs)

Fin straightening is easy with the right tool.

Ah that word fin. I kept searching for oil cooler screen fixes and stuff and only getting the covers. Fin was the word I needed. Thank you for helping my noobishness.

FYI I renamed this thread because

A. It didn't actually pose a question that other members would be able to relate to
B. Makes the thread more search friendly.

Flat tip tweezers work the best. It just takes patience and you can get them perfect. You can get a set at Harbor Freight or most auto parts stores.

/\ yep good tweezers or modified (filed-down) pointy nose pliers are the go..

It is time consuming but far better than any so called fin straightener wheel tools, I have tried a few over the years and they all suck, IMO they do more damage than fix the issue.
