How should I go about getting parts and taking the shaft out. I see in the book it has a keyway woodruff keys that make have broke. How do I get to them drain the oil?

I sell parts if that is your question.
As far as the shaft, not sure I understand the question, but read through the service manual first, it will have a detailed explanation.
