This was how I repaired our RV awning arm after I hit the house backing in after our last trip. I had to do some serious metal straightening to get it back where it works correctly. It wasn't as easy as I thought it'd be. That was stronger metal than a thought. Took quite a bit of pressure to get it back straight. But in the end it works now and unless you really go looking for it you don't really notice it.
