My Eflite 480 brushless motors shaft is bent a little due to a minor crash. I unscrewed both screws that hold the shaft in place, and the shaft won't even budge. What gives? Anyone else had this problem? I wan't to get the replacement shaft so that my prop turns tru again. Suggestions, thnx!

Here are ALL the locking devices.PLUS its a "press fit".Once u remove ALL devices put the shaft against something hard(cement wall) & push w/ your body.It will come out ...RTR http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=EFLM1501

Push harder! Seriously. You might need a vice or press.

P.S. that lock ring is VERY-SMALL ...RTR

To remove the shaft on most motors, I usually put the motor in the vice and take a thin nail on the shaft and gently hammer the nail until the shaft comes out.
