: It is called a "dutchman" key. You simply drill a hole through the shaft off-center such that it is tangent at the inner interface of the shaft and hub. Then press a dowel pin in the hole.
Raul,
Thanks for reminding me. I'd forgotten all about dutchman keys. And you're right as long as one half of the joint survives you should be able to use it as a pilot for a replacement of the other half in a field repair.
