Esos1 that can be bent back with patience. I don't think the cage is held onto the body with screws, as I remember this they were swaged. My first attemp would be to use a 10 or 12" adjustable wrench to clamp on the bent part of the pedal and either another adjustable or a vise grip to grab the first adjustable wrench and twist the cage into a better position.

If you have some steel that is thick enough to put between the outer cage and the body, you can use it for a dolly, as in hammer and dolly body work type of moving that cage back to were it came from. This can also be done once you open the gap enough with the adjustable technique.

Others here might have better ideas too.

Since you started a thread on this, keep it going and show us how this goes. Keep the pictures coming.

I'm with you on these KKT pedals. They are not top line pedals but they work well and there is no sense in not putting some effort into getting them back into shape again.
