Bent Tie Rod on Steering Box Assembly

Kmdrizzle

I was doing some off-roading in my 2013 EZGO TXT 48v earlier with some friends. Everything was okay until I hit a concrete block about 1 foot tall that was dug into the ground. It only hit my front right (passenger) tire and I was going about 14 mph. After I flew out, I got back in. I hit the gas and I thought everything was okay until I tried to turn left. It stops about 1 inch from being straight so it slowly goes right. I can turn all the way right but it stops just before half way (going straight). I got home after 20 minutes of struggling (normal 5) and jacked the cart up. It was clear the the tie rod (upper) was bent at a 90 degree angle (look at the picture). How do I take it off and bend it back straight, if possible. Please help.
