DAN!!! YOU ARE MY LC SUPER HERO!

Your all ways a stand up guy and go above and beyond, thank you. You are 100% correct. My initial diag of what happened of everything stripped was wrong. I tried to clean the spline on the linkage with a little scrubbing, but nothing to really get into the groove. Ran outside with a wire brush, the spline look very usable. The arm well, Ill clean up but may not grab.
