A bent caliper isn't something I'd wanna mess with. I'd just cough up the dough and get a new one, if I were you.

Are both sides of the caliper bent? just one? Might not be too expensive to just replace the side with the bleeder valve on it.

i would most definitely buy a new caliper. brakes arent something you should take a chance on.
