Hmmm, that can be touchy with brass. I would use a flat steel surface. Then, a light small brass headed hammer. Lightly tap around the bend while slowly rotating the shaft. Be very careful not to distort the shaft. BTW, if you don't have a small brass hammer, any small one will do. But I'd be extra careful.
Some people would use a bulldozer to uncover a China cup. Others would use a wisp brush to dig a tunnel. Depends on your touch
