I'm just wondering how the threads got damaged on the pump shaft. It would be apparent someone was in that pump before. When you get the Key make sure you look and check the Hex Bolt and were the key goes. That is what going to take the most damage. It's not made any were near the grade or metal the pump shaft is. It would be hard to believe the Hex bolt keyway isn't damaged.

At least you learned.. I've learned A lot...usually, the hard way LOL

Maybe I did the threads. I used an impact gun. Only way to get it off. There was nothing to grab to hold the shaft.

Check the Hole in the end of the shaft when putting it back together. It's there for a reason. Most likely takes allen wrench. Or did at one time. Just because if you shear the key you need something to hold the shaft and get the nut off. Or risk the damage just like what happened to the threads.

Lol see I'm learning I seen that hole. I feel like a doe doe now.

Oh no at least your learning. I just worked in a machine shop and multi million dollar printing equipment for 35yrs.. There's a lot who just will never learn. LOL.

Threads are pretty trashed. You might need a new pump.
