Another option is to replace the bent Acme section and keep the rest - much easier and faster to do. You just need to cut the bent threaded section off, turn a pin on the end and fit it into a hole in the new threaded rod. I recommend that you silver solder it and pin it in place but this will be a permanent fix and will work like new.
