It is part # 24 that is bent. Once removed, I'm just asking if the spindle/hub should somewhat freely come back into line or if I might have to rig something to help pull the wheel/hub straight so that the new arm will line up on the bolt holes. Pretty straight forward question I thought.
Since you are the only one with eyes on the issue it will be virtually impossible to answer your question. Without know what, if anything, is bent we cannot give you any ideas on how to deal with.
So no, the question is not pretty straightforward other than replace #24 and see.
