Yeah that was basically my plan. Chop off the end, stick it in a lathe to get out the outer bushing and get/make a new sized bushing than re-weld it.

Talked to KHC today though and I'll be working with them to replace the arm. Also they said that they have seen this before and the reason it happens is that the arm has to be adjusted with the truck at ride height. I didn't drop the drive shaft so the only way to get the arm in there is with the back end fully extended. So Basically what you have to do is get the arm into the slip joint and drop the truck on the ground. Than set the adjustable point on the rear. So if you are like me and adjusted it with the back end in the air you need to go back and set it with the truck on the ground.
