I got a pack of T-Rex 450 SE feathering shafts, to replace the bent one on my Belt CP. The problem is that the stock shaft has threads on the outside, with self locking nuts on it. The T-Rex shafts have the thread on the inside. My question is will these still work? If so, how do I put them on?

Nope...the Trex 450 feathering shafts will not work on any of the Esky Heads (plastic or CNC). You'll need to order the correct part EK1-0540 if you are using the stock(plastic) head.

As a separate issue, how do you get the bearings out of V2 blade holders?
the step down in the shaft size seems to prevent you pushing the inner bearings out.

T-Rex feathering shafts work very well with the Esky heads. They are slightly longer, so you need spacers at the rotor hub, and obviously T-Rex bolts instead of the Esky nuts.

Finn, Depends on which version Version 1 is all 3mm shaft, those yes will work on the belt cp with some spacers.... V2 will not as its 4mm shaft.

That's true - so if the OP really meant SE, they will work. SE V2, as you say, are completely different.
