I removed the valve plates, clamped the shaft into my vise and had at it with a hacksaw. I reinstalled the dashpot (what those vacuum actuators are called) onto the front of the plenum to keep the smog guys happy, and went on my way. I haven't noticed any difference. It had been repaired once before. Too bad Mitsu didn't put sealed bearings in the darn things to begin with!
