Often you can repair it if the damage is not too severe. It involves grinding down the crank a bit and fitting it with oversized bearings to take up the slack.

How bad doesn't it look? Probably just as easy to order another crank and hope that the part store doesn't refuse your old crank for core. If it's scored deeper than .040 and the guy accepting it knows the standards, he may not give you the core charge for it. But again, best to go with a new crank. Good luck.

Replacing the crank depends greatly on the amount of damage to the crank. Sure you can polish the crank, I do it all the time so long as the spec's are good, you can get away with it.

Yes, it can be repaired, but the machine shop will measure it to make sure it can, then the news will be given to you then.

If it looks good by eye likely it can be reground and
you will be back in business.
