Be careful welding that shaft in place. The heat will destroy the shaft seal. Its not hard to get the shaft out. Remove the clutch side cover and clutch basket and slide the shaft out. If its bent, you may have to cut it shorter so it will slide through. You can do all of this with the motor installed in the frame. Good luck.
