Decided to do some much needed repairs on the Yerf. Got the back Brace welded. Got the Chain guard back on, and welded. Then I was looking at the Alinement. OMG, it was off. Then after looking at it closer, saw the spindle was bend. I took a 2lbs sledge, and try to knock it back down. Holy cow that thing is tuff. It's upgraded BD spindles. the metal is 1/4 thick where it bent at. I just don't see how it could have bent like that.
Think I might half to completely take it off. Put it in a vice, and heat it up. But for at moment, it's back good enough so alinement isn't so crazy out of wack. Anyone have same issues? Any suggestions on re-inforcing it? I'm guessing once the metal is bent, it's going to be a weak spot.
Thanks.
