Bent Telescopic Stabilizer Mounting Bracket

[Timbow]

My 2002 Kubota L3010 has a one inch bend on telescopic stabilizer frame mounting bracket. I would like to straighten the bracket. Option one is a very large pipe and bend it back cold. Option two is to bend it back with heat. Option three leave it alone and be happy it did not break. What say you. I would prefer to have a straight mounting bracket. I was thinking that I would straighten it cold and if that does not work apply some heat and then repaint.

Would you be able to add some pics? That would help us see what needs to be fixed.

Used 6 foot cheater bar and extra large adjustable wrench to bend attachement bracket back into position.
