Yesterday, someone was cleaning our EK. When it came time to calibrate EK, the shaft was twisted too far out, which caused the Titus BC to scrape against the back of the front plate.

The BC was completely stuck on the shaft and required oil to get it loose. When we tested the BC on a different EK, it had the same issue.

Now the BC is stuck on the shaft and won't rotate at all. Is it possible the BC is now warped and won't work properly?
