If you follow 88'cr250r's advice you will wind up with a little puddle of molten aluminum on your floor. Most aluminum melts a just a little over 1100 degrees. It does not turn orange or red, it just melts and falls away.

You would be better off bending it back cold. Clamp it in a vice and tap the end with a plastic mallet until it is back in shape. It may snap off but most of the time they will bend back into shape.
