Failed bearing , now shaft? Something ain't straight.
Right where it snapped, there's an E clip flush with the face of the motor, a wee bit of material gone.

I've snapped 6mm shafts before & it's always where an E clip is placed... pinions on trk axles, output shaft of swing motor on 850, ect... but those times the shafts had seen a lot of torture as well.
