Reply to comment by Tack122 in How to fix a leaning brick column? by Noonien

I bet if you braced the column with a bunch of 4x4's, you could push on it with the excavator to straighten it up. The 4x4's would help spread the the load over the height of the column.

Then again, you might just collapse the whole thing, since I'd bet that things hollow. But then OP could do a follow up question about DIY brick laying.

Honestly yeah, breaking it and starting over to begin with would probably be easier since it’s the likely outcome either way trying to DIY this as a beginner.
