Yes I hit a tree with my right rear wheel on my Banshee and bent axle bad,
I used a press at work with a little tool that measures 1000ths and I got it perfect!and is just as strong as before! It is impossible to straighten it by hand with a hammer, you need a press! the press I used is what Mechanics use to press bearings! I think the measuring tool was a micrometer i borrowed form a trans mechanic good luck.
