Default bent front swaybar

Hello,

A week ago I hit a stump with the right front end of the swaybar. It bent it about 1 inch in ward the A-arm.
Can it be bent back?
Can I heat it or use a hydraulic press?

With the multitude of blazer's in the junkyard, I would just get a replacement from the yard. Should take all of 20 minutes to unbolt from a junker.

The sway bar is high strength steel. It takes a good hit to bend them, but they seldom like to come back properly.
