Well, it's happened again...another flexshaft disintegrated. This time it has done lots of projects and has been well maintained (I think), but have been expecting it to crash soon due to heavy use. After receiving the new flexshaft I am unable to get it installed. It fits into the cut motor just fine, but won't click all the way into the tophat. It only goes about halfway in and seems to be hitting a stop. I took the tophat off, cleaned it up, and looked inside to make sure there were no bits of debris stuck inside. Everything looks clear, but the shaft won't fully insert. Any ideas? Or am I doing something incorrectly?
Thanks!
