I was told that these shafts tend to twist up on strong motors and the chances are the pump is fine. So I'm going to attempt to install a new shaft through the dist hole with a magnet and some other type of ingenuity I may come up with. If I get the shaft in the pump I'll test it to see how it works. I just don't want to accept the fact that the pump is gone (because I don't want ot have to swap the bitch.)
