Using truck coils, clearance issues

I am using truck coils on my LS1 because of clearance issues with my master clyinder. They worked great on the drivers side. On the passenger side I am having clearance issues with my fuel inlet to my fuel rail. How have others dealt with this?
I could bend my fuel rail inlet, not really liking that idea. Relocating the offending coil could work. But, that was the reason I went with the truck coils, I was told it was bolt on and I wouldn't have to relocate anything.

Ideas?

Tape up the inlet and slide a deep well socket over it. Carefully bend. Done!

I did mine exactly as Strokinit383 suggested. Doesn't take much to make them fit.

Slow and careful is the only real advice.

Thanks, for the advice. There is a little brace welded from the inlet tube to the fuel rail. Does that need to be cut to allow the inlet tube to be bent?

Nope! I didnt have to. It should bend fairly easily.
