I think once your lock nut and tab washer are off the shaft you may well feel free play. I don't think the woodruff key is tapered to provide a tight fit as torque is applied to the nut. I think in this case it's just a bar to key in rotational forces. May be mistaken though. Have a look at the schematic diagram on the parts page of A J Sutton's
