Product review (5 stars): Perfect replacement for a poorly designed part
This is a great replacement for a part that is likely to fail over time. The way it is to be replaced is also befuddling. The instructions need a little more detail, so if you are hesitant to destroy this part to remove it, don't be. The way you replace it is by basically prying the part up all around until the soft metal sleeve fatigues to the point of failure. Don't worry, the hardened steel threaded shaft won't likely be damaged. Bottom line is that this part is a great replacement for a poor design and a poorly serviceable part. BTW, if you have the special thin wrench needed to hold the shaft, you could simply unscrew the part.
