Any tips on bending trim tab pins?

[TheThriftyPilot]

I know this sounds a little odd, but my mechanic and I are having a very difficult time bending the trim tab pins that connect the hinge on the stabilator!

We are going to take another crack at it today, but if anyone has any experience bending the "piano wire" that connects the hings on the flight control surfaces (primarily the trim tabs), it would be a huge help!


Thanks in advance.
