I would assume you just clamp the one end in a vise and then just push the long end till it bends. or put the long part of the arm in a vise and beat the short end with like a mini sledge. personally I wouldn't feel right doing this to vintage trem arm.

I bent mine on my forehead.

Is that a serious question though lol? Just rest the point of where you are bending the trem on something solid then apply force to either end until you have the angle you want.

Regardless of it being a valid question or not:

Bending the tremolo arm to ones liking is not something I came up with.

Well I've tried bending it with my weak Asian arms before, and I had no success whatsoever. That's why I ask.

It all felt rather rigid to me. I think I need a video of a workout montage ending with someone bending a tremolo arm with his bare hands.

theres no way you could ever bend it with just your hands.
