Tapered shafts in later years have a Woodruff key which is crescent shaped. A liberal application of PBlaster, left to sit overnight should do the trick. The issue is the key is made from mild hardened steel and is prone to rust.

I have an esdon Pedestal with the control levers (up , Down) on each side which appear original for sure. BUT the Silly Edson Wheel! after nut removal, wheel slides out (snug but easily) to a certain point just past spokes, and sticks there? Almost like its tapered? You can see in picture here the Keyway ? https://www.dropbox.com/s/ust0nvmoxir3yh2/wheel2.jpg?dl=0 Does this key need to be removed/loosened. Its not loose at all. Or do I need to just put little more lube and little more elbow grease? I don’t want to damage threads , or wheel for sure! Need to fix this for some Solo sailing on Halcyon this week, at least that’s my excuse. We are allowed to sail and I intend to do so,with or without Auto Pilot. However, Otto driving into the wind would be nice, as it was blowing 25+ yesterday ! 😊 Thanks!
