The tail shaft looks quite good, It hasnīt damage on the splines. My worry is about the nut, I will tight to the torque (180Nm) and use loctite 243 to prevent another failure.
Glad the tail shaft is ok, was wondering by the splines on the 3 arm prop being messed up on both ends.
Before you put the prop back on, can you do me a favor and take a few pics of the tail shaft and splines .
When I was working on my single piece driveshaft I had some leads for yokes to bolt on, just never took off my props, just made some adapters to bolt on the props, and got a aluminum driveshaft with slip, cut down, rewelded and balanced.
Rare to have a nutt from a prop or yoke come loose, usually it is a pain to get it off.
