Succes!!!

By heating it up I managed to to bend it strait again.
First by pure rough bending by hand, always under heat of corse and after fine tuned it on my lathe also there under heat.

But I have to say this is no rocket science, and there is no guarantee for succes.
If the axle had hair cracks the chance that it would have broken in this case was for 95%

But should it have been broken It still could have been repaired, but with much more work than now was applied

Anyway it's strait again, and I'm happy…


Cheers,
