[SEL] Need Help with 1-1/2 HP Petter

[craig morrison]

Hi Paul ,
        You could try the method that we use .Carefully weld on a piece of 
rod to the head of the key , the rod should have another piece welded on the 
end to look like a large gib key. Allow this to cool and a few swift bangs 
with a largish hammer and either the key will fly out or the weld will 
break, in this case just try again (this method has not let me down in the 
past).

        See you latter,
                             Craig in sunny Scotland
