Geoff, thanks to wd40 and some sweet talking it popped out after just 3 medium weight taps. So no tools were injured! 👍🏻 Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Neil, having seen the full picture of the key, it is a combination of a woodruff and parallel key (woodruff ends and parallel centre section)☺️. The correct name for the key that you have is a "sled-runner". I was not aware of this type of key so I googled it. I try to learn something new every day!!! Geoff.

Geoff Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Yes Jon, looking at the picture Neil posted you can see where the name comes from. Recommended removal is light tapping on one end - as with the Woodruff. Geoff. ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzook12 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I said don't be a pussy with it, not drag it out to an entire 2 pages of forum chat then expect congratulations for doing a 30 second job in 5 days..... I know that is industry practice in your trade, along with collecting stetsons and colt 45's 🤣🤣 1 hour ago, Geoff said: Not really Neil, it is often necessary to use brute force, but I would always do that as a last resort.

You might want a new key mate, if it's loose enough to chatter it will wear on the edges and round the slot in the prop. They are pennies to replace from an industrial supplier.
