input ahaft repair

[larry harding]

i was just watching one of john karel's video on tranny repair. he mentioned that the worn end of the input shaft could be repaired by sleeving. at nearly $200 for a new shaft, that sounds like a good idea. the snout that goes in the pilot bearing is not very hard and could be easily turned down. if any one has done this i'd like some pointers. i've got an old shaft or two i could practice on. practice on. thanks for suggestions.
