-[* black] ***Inspect the severity of the bend***
-[* black] It is important to assess the severity of the bend because if it is cracked, or broken there is a chance you just might need a full new key. Any cracks increase the fragility of the metal, making this repair risky.
-[* black] In this step you will also need to evaluate the bend of the key and see whether you are bending the key in or out. (This determines what way you'll need to apply force.)
+[* black] ***Assess the Severity of the Bend***
+[* black] Begin by evaluating the key to determine if it can be repaired. Look for any cracks or breaks in the metal. If cracks are present, the key may be too fragile to repair and might need to be replaced.
+[* black] Identify the direction of the bend: Is the key bent inward or outward? This will guide how you apply force during straightening.
