Default Outer Axle/Stub Shaft

The other night coming home from work the right side bearing decided to go out with no warning. I got a hub, and U Joints but the outer shaft/stub shaft ears are bent in just enough so I can't get the clip in the joints. Would I be able to bend this back so I can get the clips in or am I looking on buying a new part again?

Thanks!

you can bend them back. Allthough the right way is to replace it, you can bend it back. iv done it on an axle shaft and a drive shaft and they have held up fine.

Thanks for the reply. I only need it to work for a few weeks until I can get the new part in. What steps did you take to re bending it?
