Anybody ever straightened out a wobbly sprocket? If so- how? I heard putting it inbetween two pieces of plywood and parking your car ontop of it over night works

I don't think that would work seems like it would just snap after you try straightening it.

I don't mean like a destroyed sprocket. I mean just bent a little from catching it on a few grinds. Enough to have a tight and loose spot.

I guess it might work, i wouldn't trust it though it seems like it would do too much structural damage like internal crack and stuff

I did, BUT it weakens it. I carefully tapped it with a hammer to straighten it out some.

Just put it down on a hard surface like the garage floor and use a rubber mallet and tap it on both sides
