[SEL] Fooled again

[Larry Anger]

Bill - you need to get yourself some long series drill bits. Since the key is so far from the end of the shaft you need to make up a guide as previously mentioned and clamp it in the keyway near the flyeheel.

I STILL can't get the key out of my extra sandwich crank/flywheel to
finish taking it apart.
I've welded on it, no luck.
I've tried drilling, but the shaft sticks out so far I can't get the drill
close enough.
It's drilled slightly off-center now, so seems I'm SOL.
Was watching the other discussion on the stuck key, but the shaft on that
one isn't in the way like it is this one.
Would be easier if the shaft didn't stick out 3 or 4" beyond the flywheel.
