    here a couple of ideas
    * make a new key in both the crankshaft and the flywheel at the opposite place. ( 180 degree from original place)
    * welding and make a new key. Tricky , heat can bend the shaft a little and your flywheel can wobble.
    * an oversized key is of course also possible.
    you need a good machinist or engineer that’s for sure
    my way should be the first
    good luck
