Front Bumper Mounts

[Billy-No-Money]

A concrete bollard has leapt out in front of me in a carpark, now the passenger side of my front bumper is up and back by about 1/2 inch. Before I take it off to try and straighten the mounting bracket, can the bracket be straightened? I know some vehicles have collapsable 'single impact' bumper mounts that need to be replaced if deformed, no matter how minor the impact. Cant imagine a tough old bird like the surf having these, but Id rather be sure before I start dismantling.

If you have a big hammer you should be able to beat it back into shape
