    you can warm it up.i pulled frames when i did body work. i would use a rose bud and heat them till you could see thru them but i would just go to purple to dull red . no more heat then needed to do the job and let cool slow you should be fine. were you work the frame i would wire cup wheel the frame after they been sand blasted it may hid any cracks ,wire wheel will shine the steel abit and it ez to see the cracks if any
