So I was trying to change the seal on the fan Hub, Big leak, when tring to remove the fan hub from the crank it required a puller and an indordinate amount of pressure to break free. Once it had broken free I found that the crank keyway had sheared and was in two pieces. This had happened prior to our buying the car but is one more thing that has shown up during the Tune-Up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and leak fix that keeps growing with leaps and bounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) . any Ideas on cause?

Are you taking about the woodruff key insert on the end of the crank? Can pick a new one up at local auto parts store. As for cause, stress and cheap material???
