The shaft has to pass thru the seal, a needle bearing and the cover casting, which adds up to @ 3/4" or so (from memory)and the bent section WILL NOT pass thru all of this without significant force and will likely damage parts. The first time i had this issue, i had to pull the cover out far enough to get a sawzall blade INSIDE to cut the shaft, then push the bent part outward from the cover. The second time, the shaft wasn't bent as bad and i was able to cut it from the outside, and it still didn't pass thru the cover easily.
Make sense?



I had to do the sawzall thing as well, just as mentioned above.
