One word "Epoxy" and do not touch it for at least 29.5 hours.

I wrapped a couple layers of black electrical tape around the shaft (just enough for a snug fit). It's been on a year with no slippage, but I really wished they would of copied the OEM design...

well from what ive read and been told you have to glue the thing on to the shaft. i dont know why jcw made this to be installed in such a way that you can't return to oem once installed. but it does look nice hehehe
