That is the cleanest break I've ever seen. Makes me wonder if the shaft wasn't treated correctly when they made it. When my stock 8.8 shaft broke, it basically shattered.

They're just cheap Alloy shafts, not Currie or Strange... But I for sure thought it been cut and then rounded on the edges. Everybody needs a $175 paper weight...

I was told the secret for putting bearings and collars on was to put them in a fry daddy with trans fluid and that they slide right on. I fought with mine on a 12 ton and 20 ton press. Finally got it done with a 25 ton press.

heat the piece that fits over cool the piece that the other piece fits over.
fry daddy or toaster oven and a freezer helps a lot
