I have a RX 330. It was towed the other day and the right towing eyelet must be been damaged during the process. Now the eyelet is bent inward touching the exhaust pipe such that every time I drive, the exhaust pipe vibrates, hit the eyelet and make this annoying noise.
I can't get back to the towing company to get it fixed (long story). I can always have the dealer take a look but I suspect it isn't going to be cheap. So, my question is whether it is something that I can the local mechanics to hammer/bend it back to shape (i.e., back to vertical rather than bent).

Any thoughts?
