Hey Shawn, how did you polish the input shaft? When you were using the brass bushing, did the shaft actually eat into the bushing? Mine is actually cutting into the bushing.

W/ a dremel tool and 2000 grit sandpaper. The bushing on mine got hot and "welded" itself to the input shaft... Just IMO, it's a whole lot easier and much less of a hassle w/ the roller bearing in there.
