By Mark Strange - Hillsboro, MO on Friday, December 09, 2016 - 06:11 pm:Doesn't sound good, sounds like it got cracked when somebody used too much force in the past removing the assembly (they can get pretty stuck after many years). I think Royce's recommendation will get you going faster than trying some kind of fix on your cracked body casting.
