They said they can bore and tap it for the next size bolt. That said it will only save me about $500. They should be able to straighten and just polish the rod. Still going to cost about $1100 to have the cylinder rebuilt which is a lot. I checked with another hydraulic shop and they said the price wasn't really out of line. The guy there said .058 is a pretty good bend on a rod and the shaft will be weaker after straightening. He said .020 is about the most they should bend before replacing. I've seen cylinders bent a lot more be straightened and never have a problem. $500 saved is still $500. I don't think it will be weaker enough to even worry about. I think if it was bent over 1/8" maybe it might lose enough strength to think about replacing.
