Attachment grr.jpg not found


i was changing the rear wheel bearings on my 1980 kz 750 h1. I put one side in and ofcourse started to put the other side in and forgot to put the spacer that goes in between the bearings in. so i was beating out the one side with a chisel from the other side, and i booger up the rim as shown in the picture. Is this rim any good still? I need some opinions on this one guys please. man i hope i dont have to buy a new rim.

why did you have to put the axle bolt in before installing new bearing?

Not trying to be a wise guy, but next time use one of these instead of a chisel; much less chance of damaging anything:
