if yours is real bad... like.. visibly bad... best you just replace it. The a35 ones will pop right on and they are much much better.
i don't think its worth trying to fuck with just because a new one is so cheap and its such shitty thin metal there isn't much you can do to straighten it out.
check that the countershaft gear castings are machined true as well, i've seen a couple of them that were way off.
