*I have already read https://bicycles.stackexchange.com/q/6452/5006, but it did not answer my question.* I was biking up a hill in first gear, and I felt my left crank was a bit loose. Never having had problems with my crank before, I kept going. Sure enough, the left crank fell off. It appears there is a square hole in the crank which the axle goes through (which is also square). This is held on by a hex bolt about half an inch long. The bolt says "CH 12.9" on the head. ![enter image description here][1] Below is a picture of the crank where it attaches to the axle. Note the threads. There is supposed to be a circular piece that goes into them and holds in the bolt. Unfortunately, it must have fallen out before the crank fell off and is probably in a ditch who knows where now. ![enter image description here][2] However, I believe damage has also been done to the crank. I'm not sure if you can tell from this image, but there are dents in the hole, probably from the axle. I have tried to put the crank back on the axle, but I find it incredibly difficult. I decided against a hammer with a wood block because I'm not sure if that'll make it worse. ![enter image description here][3] That's my problem. Here's my question: Is this repairable? If so, how do I go about it? [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/qYzQb.jpg [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/yS5fB.jpg [3]: https://i.sstatic.net/eOCMl.jpg
