Yes, straightened the bent crank arm no problem. I used to be an Industrial Mechanic (Millwright) and had easy access to some incredible machinery, including a 50 ton hydralic press. Nothing to it but, sorry, no pictures of the press. That said, the crank proved just fine to use, however; trust me, I would never attempt to straighten and alloy crank...
