it's a possiblility. you can do it, but i wouldn't suggest it. when metal gets heated, it does tend to lose a 'lil bit of it's forged strength. however, you might be able to get away w/ it. you could use an oxy/acetalene torch to heat it, and a vice or something to bend it. i'd suggest if you do, do two things in the process. #1, remove the undamaged one to look @ as a reference while bending. #2, take it to a shop if it works, don't tel lthem what ya did, and ask them to check it. basically, to see if they notice a problem before you start driving it a lot.

really though, a junkyard replacement would prolly be your best bet...
