Re: Putting the camshaft pully back on, is there supposed to be a key?

Subaruparts.com does not show a key for this, but it does show the crankshaft key. This makes me think there is not supposed to be one.

Before I go and do something stupid, can someone tell me if there should or should not be a key on the pulley or the camshaft?

Thanks everyone, I see the finish line now!!!

PS - I have a good number of pictures to help add to the Timing Belt How To. I think a concise document with pictures would help tremendously. This is not a hard task, it's just tedious.
Yes that is the way they are.

A round key in a square hole

Use some locktight on the round plug.
