My thoughts exactly. Once I got the nylock off, I pretty much knew I was in for it. But since I was down there, thought I'd give it a go. I didn't have a punch, so I didn't get too into trying the drive the key back. I did try use a screwdriver, but I wasn't able to get a real good angle, and didn't get too aggro with it.
I figure I just need a drift punch and should be able to drive it back. At least, hopefully. Some heat, a punch, and a hammer, and I think I'll be able to get it licked.2015 Supra SC400

hope your shaft isn't bent .......I believe this is what happened to mine. although the key was jammed up against the strut. never could get the motor aligned and I never experienced any vibration issues either......with yours it just may throw out the prop tho

I sure hope it's not either Doc!!
I haven't ever noticed any vibrations, and nothing out of the ordinary at least. So, yeh, I hope it's not bent!
I personally don't think it is, my alignment appears to be good (though I'll check it again once I do get the prop off). I just really hope that I don't mar up the threads if I can get that key to move back, or, if I do mar them up, that they won't get used. Time will tell!2015 Supra SC400
