Advice. I several times have had to straighten a shaft, but mounting in a
lathe chuck near the start of the bend, and fixing a dial indicator on the
side and close to the chuck nose, and then very carefully (with a piece of
close fintting tube/pipe) bent the shaft just past center, reclamping the
newly straighted section, and then repeating the process. At every step,
I would spin the shaft to find the high side.

This is the way I thought to do it. Thanks for the info.
