Bent jack shaft?

OOPPS.. 90-94 evo. FXRS.My bendix is hanging up in my ring gear. This was probably caused by hitting the button without my outer primary cover on I know it was dumb but I had to do it just once.. Long story short is my jack shaft returns just fine with no bendix on it nice and smooth. I put my Bendix on and it hangs up. What's a good way to tell if my shaft is bent instead o throwing money at this thing. thanks

is the outer primary back on now? to support the shaFT IF NOT IT WILL STILL HANG UP THE ANGLE IS OFF DIGGING IN ON THE RING GEAR TO DEEP

It's not on now.. . But i did try it with the primary on the other day. it was hanging up or sounded like it was. I could hear it engage the ring gear and the starter motor just gruntin the blues. I will look at it again in a few days when I have more time.
Thanks
