jeebowhite Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi Wes, Depends on the quality of the job, but the frame can be reshaped, but it can be more susceptible in the future to more damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Me too I'm gunna just try and repair it with a bit of wood and a hammer ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Gotta be worth a shot, at the moment if its worth nothing more than chucking, then whats the harm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I enquired and was told it needed to be heated and reshaped. I'm guessing then a new coat of paint is in order so a new wheel looks like a better option. Or smack it with a hammer ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I've knocked them out straight with a bit of wood and hammer. Old skool repairs. To be fair though, a new wheel will be better as that will always be a weaker spot than any other on the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
