Bent wheel..What do you think is the cause of this? PICs inside

[SoloVRT61]

P.s. whenever your pounding on something use a piece of wood that way the wood will break before any part. Or if you have a piece of brass rod use it b/c its softer than most all parts.

just something I learned the hard way too.

Ya know..I know of the brass punch trick and the piece of wood..but i just wasnt thinking..so i have to pay the price..At this point I am looking to an aftermarket banshee axle..from what i head they will bolt rite up..i need to verify this before i buy it though, if it does not work out i will be intrested in the spare axle you have..I didnt test my wheel yet..I did my oil injection block off kit..and was spent between doing that and work..so i showered and went to sleep..i will check it tonite..Thanks again..
