Default CP rotor tracking question?

After the latest crash on the CP I can't seem to get the blades to track properly. I've swapped most all pcs but I noticed when changing the pitch by hand(with the head removed) it feels like the shaft between the 2 main rotors is bent? I can't seem to et the screws to loosen up to even find out, gonna have to get a 2nd allan wrench I guess to hold the other end from spinning, or is there an easy way to get this ou and check if it's bent?

Thanks.

You must have two allen wrenches. I tried using one with a vice-grip on the other - didn't work...

You need two allen wrenches to get it out. And its difficult to get it out without the right size wrenches.

Finally, and that shaft was indeed bent, thx for the input. Luckily found another allan wrench the right size. All back together, now to get it up and hovering!
