RE: crankshaft key?

[David Bailey <bb64d440@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Jim and Brian’s method but you might also want to take a close look at that part of the still exposed key that it is not deformed in any way. It could work against you by not being able to "rock" or move in the keyway as described. Another approach would to be use a small ¼” wide chisel and hammer gently working the chisel point under the point of the key up and out of the keyway.   
And assuming the crank and key can be turned straight up, maybe a soaking with a little penetrating oil or perhaps some of this “special penetrating stuff” Automatic Transmission Fluid & Acetone. A 50/50 homebrew mix would also help?
