Get an angle grinder with a cut off wheel and cut the shaft about 1 1/2 to 2 inches from the base of the pump. The piece left will still have some weight left on one of the side so shave that extra material so the shaft looks round and not oval. After you cut it, there will be a hole right in the middle; get a tap and do the hole then you a bolt in there and spot weld the bolt so it doesnt come loose. Youre done. Its pretty much building your own stubby shaft
