Heat, shock, penetrating oil and persistence will win in the end. Drilling really is the very last resort, difficult to do and likely to damage the shaft or flywheel. Butch (38 ac) swears by applying a significant outward pressure to the gib key while beating the flywheel in the opposite direction with a very very large hammer, I trust his experience and knowledge.
Good luck.

Bob

Thanks Bob.

Hi, I have just joined the forum.

I have a Lister D 2.5 hp stationary engine, I cannot remove the gib-headed taper key from the shaft to release the fly wheel.

I have tried many methods without success, can anyone recommend where I could take it, I am in the Cheltenham area.
