If you've already decided to replace it, you've nothing to lose by first trying to heat it up and straightening it. To get the right temperature, rub some hard soap (not the liquid stuff) over the bend and play a blow torch over the area. When the soap turns brown, bend it straight and let it cool down.
I've used this method with no problems in the past to straighten levers, (when I had less cash and fell off more!) and also when I made up my current brake reservoir bracket. |
