Greetings BigBearFX
You can bend them back but the axle is weaker for it. The chances of getting it perfect are not good but you can it get so that you probably won't notice too much. I've seen the axle bend in more than one spot and that is tricky to get straight. A good machine shop with a heavy duty press can do it fairly cheap for you. The Wolverine is infamous for their axles bending and it is a weak link in an otherwise good atv. The best bet is to get yourself a Durablue axle. Check out www.atvtires.com he has some real good prices on them. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
