Hey guys. My dad over filled his trailer and the weight bent the wheels out of shape.
Looking at these picture do you think a simple blow torch and then knocking it back in shape would work?

Or do you think I should replace the damaged parts?

That's not the wheel bent, but the 'radius arm' that carries the hub!
What was he loading, gold bricks?

looking at the corroded state of the unit, and way that the rubber 'spring' is rotting out of the axle. I'd get a new one. £300-400 from Indespension.

Cheers mate.
Sorry I knew it wasn't the wheel itself that was bent.
He was moving soil and went abit OTT.
