Drill down the length of the key and collapse it into the hole. You'll
need to be careful and use a good drill and a steady hand. Start off
small and work up to just under the height/width of the key. A small
punch can then be used to gently knock the sides into the hole.

The key is probably quite hard/tough so don't expect a five-minute
job. With care, it can be very successful, but if you rush it you'll
damage the crankshaft of the flywheel hub.

Almost as bad a fitting worktops against an uneven tiled wall !! :-(
