Green, call tomorrow afternoon will be fine. or during the week after 5:30pm. tonight i am not feeling well, so i hope to feel better tomorrow.

I just held onto the TC with one hand and used my body weight and leverage to turn the wrench.

Mike Franko came over today and brought a whole mess of shafts. it is def. the shaft and we found out why. on each spline there was a ridge that was lifted on one side. probably from me attempting to clean it with the wire brush on the bench grinder. it made a little mountain of metal that you could flick with your fingernail....its hard to explain....but basically when i cleaned it originally, i went perpendicular to the splines which created that hump of metal from the metal brushes. my bad.... so i went parallel with it today and it clean it up pretty good. i still gotta do it a bit more, but it is getting easier and easier to fit into the shaft/bushing that Mike gave me to test with. but i didn't get much done after he left cause i started to feel like crap and still do.

if i feel better tomorrow i plan on working on it more and i will update everyone then.
