I had to replace my shaft and arm on my 16. I was told when I bought the replacements the they were up graded parts, I'm pretty sure this is a pretty common problem with the 2016's, not from stomping... One thing while tightening the bolt I found it hard to get enough torque on it using an allen wrench, Use an allen that you can put on your wrench to get to the proper torque.

I put anti seize on the bolt, it acts as lubricant increases tq around 10 %. My belief us it lets you crank harder with less chance if stripping.

I would assume that 10 years after the original post he probably figured it out.

the dimensions or whatever you measure splined shafts by. Probably not sold by small, medium, large.
