Hello folks, I have a Stihl FS45 trimmer with a stripped out( or otherwise immobile) shaft mount INSIDE the aluminum driveshaft tube. Wondering where lowest price OEM replacement parts are best acquired. Need the curved tube / driveshaft housing from the engine housing / trigger to the threaded drive outlet. It runs $70 locally.
(It is basically UN-fixable. I can rotate the end-threaded drive(that mounts the trimmer spool) and hear a partial / short shaft rotate inside the tube up to about 10" away, but can't get the dual / square-ended flexible steel shaft from the engine collet to connect at that curved area. It must have a short shaft running through the curve for stability. )
