Default Bent Nose

I have a bent nose going up and it rubs the hood. When I step on it goes down. Someone hit something to bend it. Is there a hack where I can bolt it to a chain on the floor and jack the car up to bend it back. Sound like it will not work, but it went down with little pressure.

There isn't much to adjusting it correctly. Search the forum and you'll see how to do it, or youtube.

It is bent, not out of adjustment. No way of adjusting. I had room enough to trim nose to a perfect gap. I need to paint anyway.

The bumper itself was bent?

Did you loosen the two bolts on each side of the subframe (under steering rack)? Although i really have little if any idea about what you're referring to as a bent nose, perhaps explain.
