[SEL] Removing Damaged Jib Keys

[Jim O'Hagan]

Steve if the hub isn't the split type with a bolt to cinch it up,squeezing
the key, didn't the manufactures use a tapered key ,being real careful not
to split the hub. Cya, Jimmy O'Hagan

>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
