Petter, I'm afraid the bent lever is unable to correctly copuple to the corresponding part inside the lens so the aperture reading will stay at the smallest whatever you do. Maybe you cn get it to work by trying to catch it when mounting a lens but I believe a trip to a repair shop should be in order. Sorry.
