I forgot to mention that I used a Dremel tool with a cutting blade to remove a few thousands of an inch from the key that is on the shaft.
I removed metal from the sides and the top.

I put it on the drive shaft of the outhaul twice a year. It takes 10 minutes. Just put a long grade 10 bolt in the bottom screw and tap it with a small sledge hammer. It comes out with 2 or 3 gentle taps.

Well done Bill. Hadn’t thought of the real simple job of removing just the shaft. It’s on the schedule now. Thank you!

Feel a bit like Homer! Doooh!!
