If you have an oxy-actelyene setup than you can do it easily. Just heat it up and let it get orange and you should be able to bend it with some pliers and just a little bit of man power.
If you're concerned about the integrity of the steel from being bent and heated, just reheat it till its orange again and quench it in water.
But it's safe, you shouldn't have any issues.
