Literally Twisted

I don't even drive a four wheeler anymore, but i'm getting lots of practice trying to straighten them out. First we were trying to straighten Bob's front rack out between a couple trees...which is kind of ironic since it was a couple of trees that made it crooked in the first place. Then last night we tried to straighten out Chris's bike a bit. He tiped it over and landed hard enough to push the back rack down on the right side, pull the right handle bar down and forward and twist the spindle on the right side. We managed to straighten out the rack and handle bar last night, we didn't even take them off the bike, we just used a 5 foot crow bar to get some leverage and pull things back into place....as for the spindle, i think he's going to price that before we attempt to straighten it. Personnally i think it should be replaced if at all possible, it is kind of important and will cause some serious tire wear if we don't get it right. Oh well i like getting the workout as long as it's not my own bike that i'm trying to fix :D
