<p>I found this interesting method that can work for larger motor shafts. It involves putting the motor shaft into a drill to spin it. Then something longer is attached to the other side so that it can be bent slightly until it is back in place. </p>

It might be worth removing the shaft from the bell, so that only the bent section is between the two chucks. As pictured, you could get a new bend inside the bell.

<p>I have a drone with a motor shaft that got slightly bent. I can't buy a replacement bell because they only sell the motor as a whole. Is there any way to bend the motor shaft back into position?</p>

I have a drone with a motor shaft that got slightly bent. I can't buy a replacement bell because they only sell the motor as a whole. Is there any way to bend the motor shaft back into position?
