That is a nasty little shaft you're dealing with. Mine came off lickety split when I did it. I think a small wire brush and about 5 minutes would do a world of difference on that shaft. You can pick one up at probably any parts store for around $2.

The good news is that with a crappy looking switch like you've got, you're most certainly onto the culprit.

BTW, EXCELLENT job posting pictures of each of the stages of your project. Many newbies have a hard time knowing exactly what we are discussing. Good pictures goes a long way in the future.
