What about topping this tree?

This is a Bradford pear tree at gf’s house, severely bent westward. If I top it, do you think its limbs would limb out normally or forever be biased to bend westward? Will attach pics. In first one you see another Bradford pear stump east of it about 15 feet. So, maybe that old tree crowded its east side limbs. To attach pics, having trouble with tapatalk... also had trouble doing it old school way... I guess I give up posting a pic, isn’t making sense. Suffice to say, every limb on tree curves strongly to the west. Is ugly. Top it and it could grow back normally or lost cause? Which means I take it out.

EDIT: Still couldn't figure out how to get an image here and can't find one on google that shows what it looks like. Imagine the trunk grows just fine, straight up, but all main limbs from that point upward curve severely to the west.

Also, do you know anything about topping? I could drive my truck to this tree and stand in bed and easily top all the limbs. Just wondering how much length on each limb to leave. Was wondering if I could top each limb such that I leave a vertical stub of six inches to a foot or more. And hope it would limb out normally instead of forever curving westward. Question being, is the tree forever trained to have curving westward limbs now that it grew up that way.

EDIT2: More info... I found a pic I had posted on this forum some months ago about a palm tree that is dead. The Bradford pear I am talking about is on the left. The stump I mentioned is the pear tree on the right, which is not there cuz we took it out. FWIW, I had a tree guy here just now looking at taking out the palm tree (and this pear actually if the price is right) and he didn't think the Bradford pear would survive topping it. And felt that for it to grow limbs all around it instead of curving to the west, you would just NOT top it and hope that some of the live, green shoots that we can see on the bigger limbs, which are on the east side of tree, go ahead and make normal limbs. But it's a crappy tree, anyway, so, I guess it needs to go. I was going to do it but I'd have to rent a trailer to haul it off and then where would I haul to, I have no idea, I am not in my locale. His price for the big palm is $550 and for the pear, it is $450. Seems reasonable to me, this is a big city. I know of a tree guy back home that could do it for less if I didn't choose to do it, but he's home and I'm here lol. And this seems reasonable. This is the pic... maybe it will work...

 

Ok, then I have had it bassackwards, because I have used Tapatalk only because I have been able to post pics with it. Except not this time. I have had trouble with photos over the years. But I don't do much of that. I'm sure I can learn a better method!

EDIT: My gf told me that she got a bid two years ago to take out these problem trees and it was $2800 and she (thankfully) declined. So, this is $1,000 to take out both and that other bid $2800, that's why you get more than one bid! This tree guy I had here has a very pro company, insured and licensed and all that, seems a pro group and they have three crews running. I'm sure the other is good, too, and hey, it's capitalism! But I one to save money, that's for sure! I was aghast a few years back when my 100-year-old neighbor had a big oak removed and they charged her $3,500! I was saddened by that, I thought it was horribly excessive. But I tell ya, so many people do NOT get competing bids. This guy that got $3,500, he is ALWAYS high. But he gets work. He does good work, yes, but other guys do, too, and he is REALLY high.
