headers are hitting stearing arm

Any ideas how to bend the header pipe so that it does rub against the steering arm. Could I use a propane torch to heat the pipe and then smack it with a hammer, or any ideas????

Thanks

I was thinking

I was sitting here thinking maybe I could just remove the steering arm and grind a little bit of it away. There is only a slight binding at some times, so maybe this would be the best alternative. I would think if I didn't go crazy, and only removed a few 32's of it, I would be ok??

Comments anyone..........
