John,
   I had a similiar problem with a Scout II transfer case in my 800. 
Rather than try to bend it with the shift lever out of the vehicle, I
suggest you bend it while it's in the vehicle.  With an acetylene torch it
doesn't take much to get it hot enough to bend.  

  Heat it, bend it, do a few trial shifts to check clearances.  Reheat and
rebend as neccessary.  A ten minute job.
