Hello everyone!
As you can see in the picture, there's a steel rod going through some wooden beams. I now want to bend this steel rod at the end. How should I do it?! I can't reach it with my bending tool, I'm too weak to do it with pliers, I can't weld it, what should I do??
Heard about some long pipe for leverage but don't know how to buy it or if it's possible.
Please give me some tips, thanks!

Depends on how neat it needs to be? If appearance doesn't matter, just take a sledgehammer and pound it sideways.

And a resistance, something heavy.
 
The pipe must just fit over the spokes and withstand the stress. One option is to make a bend with a pipe and then bring out a hammer/mallet. The risk of pushing out the metal on the backside decreases if there's already a bend; clamping a support is still recommended.

Where can I find such a steel tube?
