Axle shaft ears are bent: bend back, or replace?

How bent is TOO bent? I think I can get it back to more or less straight with a long crowbar. I don't see a way to guarantee it being actually straight, though, so I'm wondering if new shafts are in order.

Bent is bent, just replace. They have been weakened and are going to break.
 
those do look pretty bad...I've bent back a few that were tweaked a bit, but those are fugly.
 
Well, at least it's another possible cause as to the wobblies I've had up front. And why the dang spindle nuts keep backing off.

So I'm ordering a set of those high-zoot can't-come-loose Stage 8 spindle nuts ... guess I add to that a new set of shafts.

For everything else there's Mastercard :D

These are for a 10b right? If so Dustin is selling a set in the axle section. Complete set with u-joints.

EDIT: looks like he just wants a C-note + shipping :dunno:

EDIT THE EDIT: not 10b.........:doah:
