That $200 Park Tool headset press I bought secondhand was bent

Picked up a used Park Tool headset press from Facebook Marketplace for $200 because I was tired of borrowing my buddy's. Got home and realized the threaded rod had a slight curve in it, must have been dropped or stored wrong. Has anyone else dealt with a bent press and found a way to straighten it without ruining the threads?

Nah just throw some grease on it and press it in, you'll be fine.

Put a bearing on the rod and tap it back through.
