        Let's call it what it is. "Woodruff key"

          There is a key in there. The other side came right off. At this his point I don’t think I need to remove the axle. I’m just not wanting to admit defeat. [emoji41]

            Pray and it will come to you. Works for me every time.

              I had that same problem a few years ago and ended up putting it out of the way for 3 years. A month and a half ago i tried it again. Lots of oil and still would not budge. Even used a chain, bottle jack and 4x4 and still no dice. Then one day after work i said one more try and this thing is going to be given away. Walked over to it and slapped it with a 2 lb sledge and it almost fell right off

                Immerse it in a bucket of diesel for about 2 days.

                  Just talked to the neighbor dude who manages a local tire shop. No need to remove the rim from the axle. He’s gonna take everything into the shop tomorrow and do the swap. My pride is only slightly harmed. Nothing a beer and and a football game on the back porch can’t fix. We will be back to terrorizing the neighborhood on four wheels soon.

                    Even a woodruff key?

                      That's good news.

                      You might could put the tire on yourself. Just need 2 long screw drivers and some soapy water.

                      If you want to try it yourself PM me and I can walk you through it.

                          How do you know it’s a woodruff key ?? It might be a straight key.
                          Leave the dang thing on and mount the tire as is.

                              Can I cut it into uppers, downers, goofballs, speed goats?

                                We’re there brother. I’m officially renaming it the PITA key.
