I finally got around to replacing the cooling fan as the one that was in there had no fins left. I noticed that when disassembling the unit the flexible coupling was straight; however, after cleaning up everything and repainting I put the new fan on and started to assemble everything I noticed that the flexible coupling is wavy after tightening up the bolts. Now I realize this it rubber and putting bolts through is going to distort its shape some. It may straighten up some when the shaft gets pushed back to line up the hole for the roll pin in the front, but that is a small amount. Looking in the service manual the picture in there shows the flexible coupling and it is some what distorted as well, but mine seems worse than that and before I go any further I had to ask cause that is a bunch of work to have it messed up if something isn't right!

Thanks!
