I take it this is a steel deck Recycler, maybe model # 20017. The blade driver (Part # 106-3987) is held on by the blade and the bolt, that screws into crankshaft of the engine, so it should slide off. The key is built into the blade driver. You might need to pry it off, or use a wheel puller. Be careful as this also drives the belt for the Personal Pace system. If you are still in your 2 year warranty, take it to a Toro dealer and they will fix it for you. Use http://www.toro.com/locator/index.html#hyc to find your local dealer
Good Luck
