<div>I pulled the driveshaft out on Friday and you were right, the key was sheared off. I was able to tap out both halves and after doing a little filing, the replacement key fit in nice and snug. It now appears that there should be two keys, 180 degrees apart from each other. I thought that might be the case but could not tap out the part of the key that was still stuck in the center part of the cone shaped piece. I think I'll just leave it for now with just one key. I tightened the nut down, using a breaker bar, as tight as I could with locktite on the nut and a cotter pin in the end the shaft to keep the nut from coming loose.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the information!</div><div><br></div><div>David</div><div>California </div><div> </div><div id="editor_signature"></div><div>On Wednesday 05/19/2021 at 13:02, Vern Inkspot via Rovernet wrote: </div><blockquote type="cite"><div>I think Steve’s guess is a good one, the key has been sheared off and the remnant is filling the keyway.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Yours</div><div class="">Vern<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote class=""><div class="">On May 19, 2021, at 9:32 AM, David Maxwell via Rovernet <<a target="_blank" href="mailto:rovernet@rovernet.org" class="">rovernet@rovernet.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;" class="">Steve,</div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;" class="">I'm taking Friday off from work and will pull the driveshaft apart and see what it looks like now.

I would guess that the nut on the drive flange got loose and allowed the key to shear. If the tapered surface on the shaft and in the flange are not damaged, then you may be able to find the crescent shaped slot for the key in the taper and knock out what's left of the key.
