I'm just the guy that owns the laundromat but I do all the repairs
including bearings on these motors. If I did this right the picture is

Looks like the key rolled. How badly mangled is the hub?


it's a14 in. fiberglass fan the keyway on the fan seems to be in good
condition

This motor seems small enough that it may just be cheaper to replace it

Brand new motor is over $200 how much could it cost to have a new
keyway cut on the other side of the shaft

I got the impression you didn't have the equipment to do it, or why would
you ask if it could be done with a file.
