Henry,

I know nothing... NOTHING! But how did you get the converter snugged up solidly enough to torque on that big wrench and move a nearly immobilized shaft? Is there a vice under there somewhere, or was the whole thing heavy enough so you could just hang onto it with your elbows or something while you turned the wrench?

Awfully sorry, but it's been bugging me.

I'm sure that whatever is out of whack with the shaft or bushing will be corrected, and you will continue on your way. However, I have found that giving the finger to a project, while temporarily rewarding, sometimes can produce bad juju, so be careful about "lost" parts and tools.
