worked on those splines yesterday and it is getting easier and easier to get it to go in, but that bushing is just trash now, so i have emailed Mike for another one. 3rd times the charm right.....i hope.

the test bench shaft and bushing etc that Mike Franko gave me worked great with my shaft after i smoothed it back out, so i know my shaft is pretty good again.

i can get the shaft on my TC, and i can spine it by hand after working it for a bit to smooth the messed up bushing back out....but i get a spot where it catches in every rotation...and you can tell that one side of the bushing is messed up worse....it isn't a bad catch, but i can feel it, otherwise it spins by finger tip, but i am still going to replace the bushing again.
