Hey Orma You'll probably shoot me for even suggesting this but is it remotely possible that your crank has frozen inside the #4 bearing and the latter has sheared its tangs and spun as a result in the case. The bearing halves thus resembling a collar/prop hub.?? Your experience has gotta be a

"for even suggesting" Morning John; Like I said, having two open cases side by side was interesting. I lifted out my crank and sat it inside the type 2 case, and sat the other crank still with the bearing installed into my type 4 case and the fit was nearly exact. For me that varified that the bu
