A pipe bending coil won't work very well unless it's inside the tubing. Not really possible with the accelerator rod.

A bending jig made from a disk of wood of slightly smaller radius than desired to allow for some springback. A sandwich around that disk would be good to keep it in line. Kind of hard to describe in words, but here's a sketch.

I could dig mine out and figure out the bend radius for you.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
