I've been able to bend the tab, but it's not enough.  Basically, it's like a fat u shape.  Any tips/hints on how to squeeze the two sides together?  I don't have a dremel, otherwise I think I would have gone that route by now.   

My 1 1/4" torklift is scheduled to arrive today.  Is it possible to install without ramps?  Also, any tips doing handling this solo would be appreciated.
