apparently my chain tension adjuster came loose and mangled the swingarm.  I've ordered new bolts, but any suggestions on how to bend the box section back? |

Steel, or aluminum?

Careful tapping with a hammer.
It's likely never going to be perfect, but IMO isn't very structural back there.
Of bigger concern is the root cause. I think you should check torque on the axle nuts.
And I think you are missing the piece that keeps that bolt in the sliding piece.

Modest sized adjustable wrench works well.

Yes. Same caveat as above, and don't try to fix it all at once.

spot on, as always. sometimes had to use two wrenches to hold one section while bending another.  |

at this point I'm wondering when it happened and how long I rode on it like that.

Were wheel nuts torqued properly?

Usually because after a wheel R&R the adjusters were not tightened enough. Or the axle not sufficiently torqued, as greenmonster said. I your case?  Since there appears to be no damage in the sprocket area I have no idea why things got so mangled. |
