I also tried to repair one and was unable to compress the retaining sleeve correctly. I put it back on the shelf for another day. Hopefully somebody will give us a good tip on how to crimp everything up tightly.

Thanks, Frank! Iā€™m thinking of total removal of top plate, then securing topside shaft in a vise and hammering a drill bit extender up against the sleeve. Could be a shambles, but doing nothing is already a shambles.šŸ˜
