Default Re: Woodruff Key.

If the key was damaged enough to allow the rotor to move relative to the crank then the bolt would have to be loose and the rotor detached from the taper - I'd be surprised if it ran at all.
As Tim rightly says the key is only there to locate the rotor when fitting it - it plays no part in driving the rotor once correctly fitted.
