Just had seals/ bearings put in my mid shaft housing and also a used short shaft pressed in but I can pull it , move around, pull out, def not right. Not rad dudes I found out. But I'm working out w/ the seller. How's this able to happen if he said he used on his ski? Maniac said machining was off

Im not a mechanic, i do as much as I can until I learn/get shown to do it right. Chris(JM) did the bearing replacement, I trust his experience. Not sure about bearing clearance. After comparing short vs. oem shaft that was taken out, if I run my finger nail up the length towards coupler I can feel distinct graduations at points on the shaft that were inside the housing on the oem ( definite points that would lock it in). Super, super slight graduations, if not smooth, on the length of the used short shaft. I can push it all the way to the hilt. next stop rad dudes
