Bent steering wheel

What is your question?

I was driving today and by mistake pulled too hard on my steering wheel, and now the top half if bent inwards towards myself(the driver). The wheel allignment seems unaffected from what I can see, the car is still driving the same with no problems. Can I try bending the wheel back into place?

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. Wow - definitely not sure how to best handle that! You can try reshaping the wheel gently, but I cannot image it easily returning to "normal". Steering wheels take a special tool to remove, and extra effort when it comes to shaping - and I am not even sure it can be manipulated at all.
