In your kind responses to my question about removing a stuck woodruff key it was claimed that if one uses a drift pin, the impact goes on the pin and not on the part. But how about the impact going from the first ball, through the middle three, to the fifth? (See pic; I could not find a video, but I hope you are familiar with this gadget.) Any thoughts?
Appreciate your comments. Hendrik

I just removed a woodruff key on a Alternator shaft yesterday and used a Cape chisel and hammer.
Yes I put a slight gouge in it but I dressed it with a file and re-used it on the new alternator.
This ain't rocket science fellers.

If one of those balls were made in a soft material, that one would deform first. I always(?HaHa!) use a soft faced mallet or a brass drift. It is just like crank shaft/bearing wear - it is always the softer crankshaft metal that slowly wears away while that little old white metal bearing remains good until you knock it out or destroy it with lack of lube.

Those ball devices are neat to watch, especially when starting the action with one-several balls. Here's a clarification of my statement regarding impact: I use a drift pin and hammer because I can hold a pin square with the key, and the top of the pin takes the impact of the hammer, which I swing with little degree of accuracy, trying to hit the pin square. If I hit the key with the hammer, I seldom hit it square, and the pin mushrooms. I drive out keys with a chisel only when I'm willing to sacrifice the key to get it out.
