Been a while since I pulled my wheel, but it is a square steel key. My
wheel came off relatively easily as I recall. Maybe I used a gear puller...
but I don't recall it giving me any grief about leaving the shaft.
I replaced bearings, chain cables, built new shift levers and had the
whole thing re-powder coated when I did mine.
Cheers,

Lube it if you like but you're not gonna break anything. Wanna be
sure, just use the gear puller.

If the shaft is a 1” straight shaft (pre 2000), the key is
square and not tapered. Tapered shafts in later years have a
Woodruff key which is crescent shaped.
A liberal application of PBlaster, left to sit overnight should
do the trick. The issue is the key is made from mild hardened
steel and is prone to rust.

Hi,
Silly question here but doing some Maintenance on the crunchy
AutoHelm ST4000, and plenty of you tube on fixing that belt
/drive.. I have an esdon Pedestal with the control levers (up ,
Down) on each side which appear original for sure.
BUT the Silly Edson Wheel! after nut removal, wheel slides out
(snug but easily) to a certain point just past spokes, and
sticks there? Almost like its tapered? You can see in picture
here the Keyway ?

Does this key need to be removed/loosened. Its not loose at
all. Or do I need to just put little more lube and little more
elbow grease? I don’t want to damage threads , or wheel for sure!
Need to fix this for some Solo sailing on Halcyon this week, at
least that’s my excuse. We are allowed to sail and I intend to
do so,with or without Auto Pilot. However, Otto driving into
the wind would be nice, as it was blowing 25+ yesterday ! 😊
Thanks!
