Not the movement, the outside end of the shaft.
Like I said, you have to be very good to be able to pull this off. I would've never done it to begin with, but (in addition to the film wrap bends) I got so tired of theatre personnel opening my replacement V5 intermittents when they arrived, dropping the movement, and my discovering the bent star shafts when I installed it. Out of exasperation one day, I said to heck with it, I'm gonna bend it back!
To my astonishment, it worked well enough that they didn't lose any shows. I figured dropping the unit was a lot worse than what I was (very carefully) doing, and it was gonna be shot to hell anyway... so I had nothing to lose and shows to gain.
