HMMWV Oil Pump Bent

As usual, a skilled forklift operator bent my oil pan out of wack. Investigation reveals the oil pump pickup tube is also pushed at an upward angle.
Engine runs fine and indicated oil pressure holds at normal. Still, I’m not leaving this as is.

Not sure if I should outright replace or right the tube by hand. Any ideas?

Is it not brazed tubing and has a stay bolt ?
Original design is to have face up pickup 1/2" off of bottom of oil pan? Yes the question pertains.
Is in the engine rebuild manual-TM

You’re already there so why wouldn’t you replace?
