Be sure to put the two halves back together as they came apart! I presume these shafts are balanced as an assembly. I don’t believe ‘phasing’ is necessary with flex disk ends but if there’s balance weights on the tube you’d want to realign. Simply put a mark on both halves. Some splines only go on one way. Most can be put on any way.

Good stuff to know. Thanks for posting.

For any future DIY-ers, it's always best to press on the inner race when installing a center bearing. Yes, I know, we all have and USE hammers and on a light press fit it probably won't hurt but...I ruined a set of angular contact, Abec 7 ($800 in 1985) bearings (mis)using a hammer one time. The shock of a hammer blow vs a smooth press can cause the balls to score the race(s) Just sayin'...and Just warnin'...

Good! As it should. Just warning the masses about the bigger hammer syndrome!
