There suppose to be a "key" that include with the purchase. It's a rectagular shape, it measures about 1/2" x 1/8". I think you should call Skunk2 and lemme know wuzzup.

I have no experience. But my guess would be using the same key on the crank pulley.

Like I said, foolio, call Skunk2 or whoever you bought that from should provide you that key. If it's not, then your A$$ed out.

I dont know where you live but ACE hardware has all different sizes, I imagine most hardware stores / tractor supply stores carry them. Everything that is mated to a shaft has a woodruff key so they sell them just about everywhere
