fork blades need aligning

old steel mtb fork. one drop out is a little in front of the other. maybe 4mm. is there an easy way to get them even?

in 09 dannoxyz posted this "Easy way to fix the fork-blades is to remove the fork from the bike, hook the dropouts facing up underneath a door, and bend the fork over a mandrel (a big split piece of firewood works well). Grab the top of the fork blade that needs bending back and push down to increase its rake to match the other one. If you need pictures, I can work something up."


but I cant seem to figure it out exactly. anyone know how this works or another method?

thanks!
