Excuse the poor terminology -
1.125 drive shaft. The shaft snapped at the point where it screws into the bell. I received a replacement drive shaft and bell, which screwed together pretty easily.
The engine separated from the housing easily. It has 4 screws that need an Alan wrench. The bell fell out when I removed the engine. To remove the drive shaft, I smacked it with a hammer on the non motor side. I greased the new drive shaft, then I put it in by smacking it with a hammer. I tightened the bell into position, and held my hammer menacingly to make it behave. The motor went back on pretty easily and I tightened the screws down with my alan wrench.
Total time 15-20 min, primarily because I looked for an easy way to remove the shaft and did not find it.
Every few days I show my hammer to the engine so it behaves.
