- My dishwasher has a 1/8" shaft on its main motor that drives the impeller. The impeller is on a plastic shaft that slides over the motor's shaft. There are, well, used to be splines to keep these two

- I'm not familiar with "A + B". I use "JB Weld" (the slow curing variety), which seems to outperform everything else I've tried. And IMO it would probably not hold in your application unless you can

- IME, slow setting epoxy is best. There are also expoxies touted as 'plastic repair' but I don't know if that is marketing or not. Eric Russell Mebane, NC http://home.mebtel.net/~ejrussell __________

- I have never had long term success depending on epoxies of any kind holding in high torque, or even low torque, situations. If there's room for this, I suggest a bushing that would encircle the impel

- Thanks for all the responses. I definietly can't pin it unless I take it to a jeweler, and even then all the torque on 2% of the plastic would certainly crack the plastic. www.thistothat.com is very

- Is there room to put something like a hose clamp around the area where the splines are missing? If so, cut a couple slots in the outside part, then find a clamp that fits the O.D. of the plastic par

- There definitely isn't room radially for a hose clamp, and I don't think there's room axially for a split ring pinch bolt. The ribbed gasket sits right on the motor's nose, so everything on the shaft

- Agree, drilling the shaft is easier said than done, but how about cutting a thin keyway with a cutoff wheel on a dremel? Just something to take the shear force. Maybe that would spread it out enough

- I'll echo what John said, to a point. It depends entirely on what the part costs vs how much of a nuisance it is to replace. At our vacation place, we have a Kenmore that must be 30 years old, maybe
