we have twisted one before, you'll have to cut it out with a torch. get a good machinist and press a solid shaft into the new counter shaft and weld on the end. end of problem
We've twisted a few of them, cut them out with a sawzall. Not alot of fun, used a Milwaukee "torch" blade seemed to work best, had to make two cuts since they seemed to twist around the high side constant mesh. Have since gone to a solid one from Hyper, still running an mcv for the ta and it is setup to turn the ipto gear. Had it apart twice so far and it comes right apart.
