i dropped my beloved bengal yesterday and i just noticed that my idler wheel is damaged! i guess this would have caused string derailment, luckely i didnt pull the bow..
my question: do i just need a new wheel or could the bearing or axle also be damaged??? or could i even try to straighten the wheel myself??

The new idler should come with new bearings already installed, I would suggest getting a new axle also.

Definitely not repairable and I would do as archerx7 suggested replace it all axle and idler. Sorry to hear you dropped it!

thanks for the tips, i backed out the bolts already (i even considered removing the string and cables..?) and i couldnt find any sign of damage on the limbs.
can i do this kind of repair on my own? my bowmaster press just arrived!
You don't need a press. All you need to do is back out each limb bolt equally. Say 3 turns one 3 turns the other. Until the string and cables are limp. Then take pics of how the string and cables route. Disassemble and repair. Reverse this procedure and your good to go.

i disassembled my bow almost completely, but i still dont know how to remove the anchor for the split string from the axle...

can anybody help me??
I believe you need to remove the two e-clips, one from each side. Be careful that they don't go flying when you push them off.
