My speedo key sheared at the driveshaft. The end of the key is stuck in the shaft. I pushed it in to see how far it would go in. It didn't go far enough to get the new key in. I tried drilling it out and my drill bit broke off. I am so screwed now. I looked up the parts breakdown for the shaft and there is an insert that goes in the end of the shaft. I feel if I can remove the insert, the key should come out. Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions?

i did the same thing once, never did end up getting the piece out, ran without a speedo for a year or two.

Get the busted drill bit out. Soak the inside real good with some WD and get yourself a small metal pick with a hook on the end and good luck. I have had to do the same and had good sucess.
