How do you bend back intercooler fins?

I just had a Greddy 2 row intercooler put in and some of the fins have bent. I was hoping someone could tell me a safe and effective way to straighten them out. Thanks for the help.

You could probably do it the same way you would with a radiator. Just stick a small pick in between the fins and straighten them out like that.

You can buy fin rakes and fin straightening pliers from http://www.eastwoodcompany.com

I've got both. Used the pliers a few times, but haven't had to use the rake yet. Easier to use than a screwdriver.
