So I posted another thread a week or two ago about shortening windings on a feigao motor. I was suggested to try to bend them slightly if necessary. Well, I just attempted to bend them a few degrees and one of the 3 literally snapped. So now two of them are full length while the other is about an inch shorter than normal.

So what would you guys suggest I do?

It is possible to fix it, just carefully open them up and take insulation from each string of wire (broken lead) and carefully tin it with solder, then twist them together and solder them again as a group.
You can use mechanical or chemical ways of taking insulation from individual strings.
Be careful with mechanical, try to avoid braking leads further, while with chemical keep your area well ventilated.
