I have seen several references to a bike having a bent pedal. Most of the time its because the person that rode it just dropped it instead of using the kick stand. I have had several and its a real easy fix. Just rotate the pedal to where the high spot is at the top and whack it with a rubber hammer. It really dosent take much to get them back to straight. Then just turn them around and make sure they are straight . If not repeat step one and rotate it back to the top and whack it again. Hope that made sense. :lol:
 
What about the bearings and races that you are beating on? I think I'd disassemble it before I started whacking it. Gary
