I've just finished replacing a bent prop shaft in a brushless for the first time. Ihad trouble finding instructions for how to do this the right way, soI documented the solution Icame up with here:

I'm interested in any feedback on my process - particularly if I've done anything really wrong or if there is some better approach.

Thanks!

Excellent "how to".

I would make one suggestion... I have found it hard sometimes to get circlips back on, so in your last steps I'd actually fit the circlip to rear of the shaft... then press the shaft through until the circlip just touches the rear bearing/washer.

Did you mention the need to undo the set screw(s) holding the shaft into the bell... and re-tightening them after it is all back together?

Phil,

Excellent suggestions - I've updated the tutorial.

Thanks!
