Probably some BS one of those MMI graduate dealership hacks told him!

Then check out darkhorse cranks website. You may learn something.

Sounds to me like your "friend" mechanic doesn't really know what he's doing. I've never needed to resort to a hammer on any part of my bike, so far. Sounds like something has gone through your oil pump and God only knows what else. There's nothing in there that you can't do yourself if you have the factory manual. I would advise you to cut open your oil filter and see what you can find in there too.

Sorry this has happened to you.
