What size drive would you suggest? I wasn't aware there was anything larger than that that was readily available.

is the slot to hold the engine fairly obvious or am i gonna be searching?
does anyone have a picture by chance?

For those rare occasions when nothing else will work, I have 3/4" drive ratchets and sockets. 17" ratchet, 24" breaker bar and sockets from 19 mm up to 50mm.

Available at HARBOR FREIGHT for less than $50.00.

i like the sure-grip sockets which grip the fasteners on the flat side so as not to round off the points. Transmits more torque.

3/4 inch... Likewise... I have it as well.

I was simply trying to make a point about how tight that big old bolt needs to be. When you add the big old mauler, it works great! Pulling it "real hard" is a bit too light!

Big old mauler is easy but be sure you don't misdirect the swing to anything else!

I actually prefer the long box end wrench because the socket can more easily slip off as you hit it with the big old mauler!

Do what you want but think before ever using red. This is 38 years
Of experience talking.

You use loctite on the key, not on the bolt.

Did I mention anything about a bolt. Let me re read my post ...NOPE.

You don't ever want the key to move........

BUT AND IF are big little words. The key should never move. Blue would hold it. Still would take a real batting to get it out. Y not just JB weld it in.

trust me, when the keyway is damaged, it will move if you use anything but the strongest loctite.
JB weld is for plastic not to mention you have to be able to get the crank pulley and crank sprocket off if you ever want to do your crank seal, or remove/reseal the oil pump.

Not to mention timing belt...
