Default Hydraulic lift replacement

We were raising our camper and heard a large bang. We looked underneath and the guide rod and hydraulic lift have been bent and the guide rod popped out of place. We are now stuck in the up position.

Wondering if anyone have tips on replacing, I have read a lot of forums but most have outdated information. We are located in Austin Texas.

If we force the guide rod back into the block, should we be able to lower the trailer?

The guidbar seems to be welded to the frame, should we just bend it back to shape or how do we replace it?

We will also need information on replacing the hydraulic lift since it is severely bent.

Adding that we have a 22’ 2003 Hilo towlite
