Thank you to everyone that responded to my woodruff key dilemma.I'll be happy to share any info that I may have w/all of you if I can help. Thanks again! TJ

This is what I wanted to do from the start , but I was worried that I might cause more damage. What's the best way to keep the crankshaft from turning , so I can tighten the pulley enough?

The front 1/2 of the woodruff key sheared off due to pulley bolt coming loose , pulley now has nothing to lock on to & just spins, key way not damaged,I've already received new key from dealer & I'm looking for best way to remove damaged key & install new one. Looks like old key is partially under TB sprocket

Thanks for the reply on the woodruff key removal,as far as the timing sprocket do I have to approach the job like I'm removing the timing belt , or is there a less invasive way to install the new key? The 90 Legacy has been a Great car , so I've done very few repairs.

How do you remove a woodruff key on a 1990 Subaru legacy wagon?
