I am looking to replace the pendulum arm and bob. I am new to clock repair so am not sure what to do. The other arm in the picture is bent that the pend arm goes through. I see other movements that have a more straight arm. Do i bend this on to a more straight position or leave it and bend the new pend arm? Where can I buy pend arms and how big of a bob do I need. Thanks for your help. I am anxious to fix and here my clock.

Yes that should be bent back straight, as the pendulum rod goes through the loop.
