Frames with integral hangers aren't set up to accept replacement hangers. Of course,
if there's enough meat there, a skilled mechanic can modify it to mount a replaceable hanger, but I'm talking about an advanced skill level. I wouldn't expect that in someone asking if straightening us OK.

This is totally unnecessary unless the wheel is badly untrue. On a true wheel, every point is on the same plane, square to the axle.
I love various raw veggies in tempura. My favorite is thick cut onion slabs, ie. 10mm or so, fried until just tender. Sometimes, I'll salt the onion first, otherwise dip in a sauce to eat. The alcohol trick sounds interesting, I'll give it a shot.
