Im pretty worried about this still even with green locktight. I did have an extra rotor(the orginal sale price of $25!!) But I gave it to my cousin. I may be getting that back soon!

I think I know what caused this. One day I had to use a lot of pressure to get a pinion off. I think it used to much. The pinion actually did come off but I think it weakened the grip the rotor had on the shaft so that this last time I worked the pinion off it broke the grip completely with little effort. All that to say this was probably the pinion in combination with me in regard to the fault and not Castle.

Also i am not sure in my case that the brass tubes or shims will stop the shaft because the whole shaft is 5mm and could come out through a bearing hole without taking the motor apart!!

I am working on a lot right now and will have an update soon!!
