Had a crash and bent my crankshaft. Is this an easy fix if I buy the part, or should I send back to Cermack?

Buy a gasket set if you do it. The standard ones will drop to bits like The Mummy if you touch them.

Send it to Ralph, Best crank man around

I bent mine upon crashing. The crankshaft seemed weak and could not withstand any direct impact due to crash.

I bought the parts and replaced it myself. It was not that difficult.

I purchased spares here.... http://www.maxfordusa.com/spe26ccparts.aspx
Excellent service from Richard. Order and pay online.
I think I recieved a confirmation e-mail, that the parts had been shipped something like 6 hours after I ordered. Very impressive.
Best to order new bearings and seals from a proper bearing store. The quality will be alot better than the Chinese originals.
As Dogshome said, don't forget the gaskets. I ordered a few extras for the future.

Make sure crank counterweight is'nt mearly just twisted in relation to each other. Mine did that very thing and i put it in a vise and realigned the counterweights. The crank is put toghther like a motorcycle crank and depends on press fitting.
