Sorry, my bad. Not a rebate, more a slot in the middle of a door frame.
The intumescent strip in the door frame is damaged so needs to be replaced. However the new one won't fit square into the existing slot.
My usual method of light tapping with a wooden mallet isn't working, it just damages the replacement strip. The slot just needs to be a fraction wider...

I use a rebate plane to do this kind of thing if it's got to that stage. I can't really visualise what you're trying to do though, a rebate plane will only work if it's either the right width or you are removing the door stop to widen the groove.
