I want to flatten out a bend in my luggage rack as shown in the picture below. The dotted line is the positon I want and the solid is how it is now. How do I do this without crushing the tube, etc.?

that's not much to pull I try a electrical conduit bender, they come in different sizes so try to match tube to bender, might ask a local contractor for help if you know any

If it's got plugs in the end that are easily removed, you could fill the tube with sand, and just give it a nudge.
The sand will make the steel keep its form!
