IMO, I could possibly be bent back into shape, but it probably best that the support is removed and a replacement is welded on since it is going to be a pain to get everything to line up correctly again.

Agreed. You could try to hammer it out and reshape it but it would likely never fit the way it used to. The best way to proceed is to replace it.
