Seafood xp woodruff key

[Jribbens]

I had to remove my xp's flywheel and now can't figure how to keep the woodruff key from falling off on reinstall action. Any ideas?

Turn the crankshaft so the key faces up, a dab of grease to hold it in place, or clean it thoroughly and put a spot of super glue on it.

Is it supposed to slide on fairly easy. Cause the old woodruff key was damaged, so I have a spectrum of sizes

 

[Jribbens]

An entire tube of super glue and many exauhsting attempts... No sucsess. Anyone have ideas? Is there a special tool?

I got it started. Trouble is it isn't going on easy. Is there supposed to be a pusher used? I've been hammering it but I'm worried about engine damage

Buy a new key. Inspect the FW's groove. The key is for alignment only, the correct torque on the nut is what keeps the flywheel from spinning on the tapered shaft snout. These parts are machined then hand lapped by the machinist to be a perfect fit.

Victory!!!! I don't know if it's tight enough though. I don't have one of the fancy wrenches
