OK, the lower shaft lifted right out, and brought the Woodruff key. I see no obvious signs of distress except some discoloration at the top from rubbing on the underside of the pump housing. As much as I can tell from looking into the end, the spring looks OK. Overall length is about 6.817.
Material could be removed from the top of the shaft or the underside of the pump if need be to create some end play. Of can the shaft assembly be compressed back to what it’s supposed to be, or…..?
It would be VERY helpful to have some info on what the overall length of this thing is supposed to be, and how it’s made. I searched a little but didn’t find this info.
