Catch me if you can
You can do probably do it with an arbor press!! It doesn't take much pressure but the pressure has to be applied in the right area and you have to bend pretty far past straight to get them straight again.
They almost always bend just below the lower clamps.
You need a press, 3 V blocks, a magnetic base with a dial indicator, sharpie and some patience
It's on the 1st few pages of my "20 day 200X build"
Maybe I should write something up (with pics too) and have the guys move it to the world class help forum...........??

Put them on backwards and re-hit whtever you hit the first time
If you can't fix it with a, its an electrical problem.

I'm with Bonkers on that one. I have access to different presses, but I've had the best luck at a muffler shop on their pipe bender, as stated above.
