Rotors are fairly inexpensive, I’d just toss/return it and move on. IMO trying to fix a warped rotor is way more effort than it’s worth.

Just bend it back. Large adjustable wrench or tool made specifically to bend rotors.

How is the rotor screwed? Looks like centerlock; with a central nut.

You could fix it with the right tool (or even with a monkey wrench), but unless that’s a very expensive rotor I’d just replace it.

Just replace the rotor. I recently replaced one my self. The new rotor was around $20. You can bend them back if you’re patient. I just bought a new one to avoid the hassle.

If it was going to ruin tomorrows ride, i might try to fix it, but it’s a pain in the ass. it never wants to go back to really actually flat.

This is one of those moments where you ask yourself how much you get paid per hour then look up the price of a rotor. If you’re getting paid more than that don’t bother, it will definitely take you a lot more than an hour.
If you’re getting paid less than that I’d probably fuck cycling off and look for a better job.

That rotor is bent dramatically. Not worth resurrecting.

This rotor has an aluminum spider in the middle, and one of those aluminum arms is bent. This cannot be safely bent back into place.
If it was only steel rotor bent, i would suggest you true it – it’s not that difficult. But that does not apply.
Bent aluminum is a goner.

It could be bent back, but that’s so bad that I’d just replace it

It’s skewed.
you have to ask ?
Just replace the rotor to unscrew it
