Generator/Pump Combo Question - Shaft

I have a member who is interested in my original Generator/Pump combo and they are curious if the shaft on mine is twisted or straight. I'm curious, if twisted isn't a stock configuration, how does this shaft get twisted?
Also, how do these two come apart so I can see the condition of the shaft?
Thanks!

The pump unbolts from the back of the generator, if its the same as the one on the 59 chevy. Then it slides off the shaft. The generator body is the same as a non power steering car, except the back end has the hole for the shaft to come through to run the pump. I don't remember twisted or not twisted on the shaft, seems unlikely if something seized, the fan belt would have enough grip to twist a shaft.

Thanks Don.
I took a peak this morning and two half inch bolts and a flat head screwdriver later, I had the two separated.
Thankfully, mine was in good shape.
