After my last crash[:'(] I am having some blade tracking issues. I just finished replacing the feathering shaft and the flybar and this has not solved my problem. When I spool it up I can see the top of the head wobbling so I figure it has got to be a bent main shaft. So, tomorrow I am going back to the LHS and pick up a new main shaft.

How much trouble is it to replace the main shaft? The closest I have come to this was loosening it up to replace a stripped main gear. Do I just remove the head, slide off the swash, loosen the collars and main gear, then slid it out. Rinse and repeat in the opposite order? I would appreciate any tricks that you all might know of. It will probably be Friday before I have any time to work on it so please share your pointers. Thanks
