<P>To get the Woodruff key out I usually use either a pair of needle nose
pliers or a small screw driver and no heat - just be really gentle with the
tools. </P>
<P>btw, when reassembling the motor I also use a tiny drop of blue LocTite
under it so I don't have to worry about losing it til it's time to remove it
on purpose. </P>
<P>I believe the keys are made of really hard steel?? I know I've never
damaged or dinged one (does shooting one across the room count?)
