So I hit something in the yard and it bend the crankshaft and sheered the flywheel key.

Is it possible to bend the crankshaft back, or is it a loss? I have the new flywheel key. Also this is for a push mower.

Thanks for any help

Just buy a new one. You will never get it perfectly straight and the wobble will give you problems

how do you know the shaft is bent? That's the purpose of the shear pin. To keep the shaft from bending
