Eugene,
The problem isn't that it is not crimped enough but that spline collar is cracked; therefore, no longer able to hold the flex shaft tightly. There also either some tool marks or some other impact to the spline collar adapter. That collar probably split from blade impact stopping the shaft movement while running at high speed.
When I looked the EA850 edger ipl I get different part number the one you posted. The PN in the IPL on Husqvarna website is 545137002 which is about a $10 part when the number you gave which is $50-$60.

Does it show anywhere the total length for part 545137002 ? I need replacement flex drive shaft that is 34.75 inches long.
Thanks

Something isn't right here. Is there any other numbers like a product number on that edger?
Well 545137002 is 12" per what I can find online. I also look-up the PN you gave and it appears to be for the units:
So I am a little lost.

It seams this drive shaft is half the price of a whole new edger... Wow that's a bit disappointing.

Gene, I see where I got confused and it still a little confused even now as I would order the one I quoted; at we on the same page now and sorry for the miss info. I was looking at page 4-7 of the IPL and what your looking at is page 1 and 2.
As for the price it is a little crazy but I ran into something similar last week with Cub Cadet. I had ordered a gearbox which was to include the trimmer head. When I received the gearbox assembly there was no head. I called Cub and was told the head wasn't included but I insisted their IPL list it as so. I was sent to tech phone support and when they looked it up they their IPL showed the same info and they would me the head. The tech did also look up the head and it costs more than the whole gearbox and trimmer head set.
