Need new oil pump drive shaft

mt17249 · 10-08-2012, 02:58 PM

This rebuild is turning into a nightmare for me. My machine shop is replacing the oil pump driveshaft bearings and am having a problem having the driveshaft fitting in after replacement. After two sets of bearings finally got it in them. When turning the driveshaft, it spins to a hard spot. It takes more than 50 in/lbs to turn past it. THey took it apart, put it onto some v-blocks and found that the driveshaft is bent. Does anyone know where to get a new driveshaft? I already tried at the dealer but the shaft is the only part of the assembly that is no longer available.

Thanks for any help!!
