Update...got it out, put the new replacement in but after my darn case slipped off jack to ground and 4 times back and forth trying to line those splines up...I called it quits. Will complete next weekend free.

Question...someone stated prior to mark the shafts. Well I realized that the new one would have markings so what will this mean? It installed fantastic and plunged in with extreme tightness and no noise.

Also should I be severely frightened that I let my case slip and fall on its butt?

BTW those stupid skid plate 16mm! NIGHTMARE and can't believe I have to purchase new ones just because these came out!!!!
