If a technician is unable to perform a wheel alignment on your 2002 Mercury Villager due to a long bar connecting the brakes being dented, it is likely that the bar is damaged and needs to be replaced.

The long bar, also known as the "push rod," is a critical component of the Villager's braking system, and it is used to apply pressure to the brake pads when the brake pedal is pressed. If the bar is dented or damaged in any way, it may not be able to properly engage the brake pads, which can cause the brakes to malfunction or fail completely.

In this situation, it is important to have the damaged push rod replaced as soon as possible. The repair should be performed by a qualified mechanic who is familiar with the Villager's braking system, as the push rod is a complex and critical component that requires specialized tools and knowledge to repair or replace.

Once the push rod has been replaced, the technician should be able to perform a wheel alignment on your Villager to ensure that the wheels are properly aligned and the vehicle is safe to drive.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
