[SEL] Removing Damaged Jib Keys

[Steve Royster]

>Darn Kerry, I never had a problem getting them out, We can't keep them In!  Little brother and I were out side running the latest acquisition when it quietly stopped running..... didn't take much inspection  to realize the flywheel  and Gib key had wandered the timing gears apart. Good thing the flywheel didn't wander down the driveway and into the pond. Do you think they make flywheel strength loctite or should I just drill the hub full of set screws??? Maybe Knurl the end of the crank with an 8 lb sledge?  Steve, the good CloisteredOyster
