let me know if it works.
id be worried about messing up the integrity of the
metal by bending it and then bending it back.

I agree.. trying to straighten a bent axle is a lost cause..

ride it hard on a corner where you wont die if it breaks. then hang a broken hanger on your wall like a badge of honor. that or blow it up with bearscares. all skate gear must die. especially wheels, but if you break an axle right off thats pretty badass.

i had a pretty bent axle on my R1's that i bent back with a hammer. works fine, just make sure you don't mess up the threads on it.
