How do I remove a damaged Blade Boss from a mountfield laser Omega 46 cm push mower. Do I need a special tool, and how and where is the key installed to lock the blade boss to the drive shaft. The Key resembles a coin cut in half or a half moon. Engine is Briggs & Stratton Classic 450E Product Code MP890002 Engine No 95902 0222 01 9604 ?????? , last part of engine no is unreadable.

the key is called a Woodruff (Google it) key. It fits into a semicircular bottomed slot on the drive shaft and sticks up, engaging in a slot in the boss which the blade is mounted on.

The blade mount should pull off but you may have a struggle.
