Second: It may be the case that the fault is the pin that comes out of the hub to connect with the gear changer box. It's bent. I've got a feeling it shouldn't be. Since you guys are all very knowledgeable about internal gear hubs, let me ask you two questions: (1) are they standard size? (2) if I can't find a replacement, might unbending it work?

Thanks for your previous input, and thanks in advance for your additional input.
