Remove the top shroud. Remove the cutter deck from the base to access the end of the cutter barrel from behind the height adjustment screw.
Install the new key, pulley and nut, putting a thread locking agent on the cutter barrel threads to hopefully prevent the nut coming adrift again.
Reassemble planer after polishing an d waxing the alignment rods at the four corners of the machine.

Ordered new parts to replace damaged parts.
New parts arrived in a week as promised.
