Looks like he thinks the knuckle is bent, not the axle.
The knuckles are supposed to be bent like that.
How much if any on the example pictured is hard to tell w/o a hands on exam.
I agree, the wheel looks suspicious, more like junk.
He was lucky to get the wheel off the knuckle.
I have several that are completely frozen, bearings wheel and all to the knuckles.
Sad the way these fine little machines were used, abused, discarded and left to rot.
