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

[Paul Maples]

Craig I think my options are just about down to your method. The large end 
of the gib key with the tab on it has cracked from all of the prying I have 
done on it so it is going to break off if I pry on it anymore so I think I 
better either try drilling and taping some threads, screw in a bolt and then 
weld it in for good measure and then use a slide hammer to knock it out. 
Thanks for the input I appreciate it very much.

Paul
