Was that shaft splined?

It cannot be straightened and it certainly won't do it by itself.

Tell me you're joking. Please.
Do you know how much heat you just put on your nosedrive seal? And how weak that pulley is now? Please replace your nosedrive seal and the pulley ASAP. Drive the car in the meantime, but check your oil level and belt wear daily.

Kidding
But it sounds like the theory would work, doesn't it
I told that to boosty on the phone as something I was thinking about doing. His response was, ah...no
AND, speaking of Boosty, he has a good OEM 3.8 that he is sending me
Thank you Boosty

Picture Time!!!
Right after I pulled the snout off

Rebuild Kit

Inside housing of snout

The the coupler on the left and the olf on the right. No Egging

Hydraulic Press that I used for the bearings and shaft spline

New end bearing before the seal

The RTV

All clean

Me at the end of the night

I believe I had started to take the puller apart, then decided to take some pictures. I think.
If I pulled crooked, that would expain the bent pulley
