Default Fixing a subtely bent steering wheel

Has anyone had experience fixing/bending back a steering wheel (Mugen FG360). Let me back up a bit... I was a victim to thieves a couple of months back and in the process they tried to take it by pulling/yanking/snap it off the car. In the end they were UNSUCCESSFUL (thank god) but they did manage to tweek/bend the wheel a bit. It's not majorly bent but it would be nice to have it back to normal.

Since the incident, I've taken the steering wheel off the car. I did try to bend it back at first but I wanted to get a second opinion/tips from others. Anyone had experience w/this? Should i just use brute force? I just don't want to mess it up more than it is. Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

Maybe bang your forhead against the wheel until your head bleeds.
That will do the trick.

animal-chin is an a-hole!

i wouldn't try to bend it back while it's on the car. Try putting the center of it in a vise that's mounted to something substantial, then bend it.

Hmmm, scary, especially with a Mugen 360 wheel. How about laying it face down on a towel, and applying pressure to it, maybe stepping on it. Or, if it's mounted on the car, put a CLUB in the opposite direction it's bent, and pull the bend out of it with care.

Too bad the theifs weren't successful.
Animal-Chin is a loser. I still say he tries to
bang his forhead on it and bend it back.
Maybe he can just steal a new one like he does
with his friends girlfriends. HA HA HA.
If they had a middle finger icon, I would have given you that one instead.
