    Abstract: In some examples, an assembly includes a rotor drive key configured to fit around a wheel boss defined by a wheel. The rotor drive key includes a support structure. The assembly further includes a fastener configured to extend the wheel boss and the support structure in a substantially axial direction of the wheel when the rotor drive key fits around the wheel boss, where the fastener is configured to limit movement of the rotor drive key relative to the wheel boss. The fastener may be rotated to establish and/or increase a contact pressure between the fastener and the rotor drive key to help the fastener limit movement of the rotor drive key relative to the wheel boss.

    Abstract: In some examples, an assembly includes a rotor drive key configured to fit around a wheel boss defined by a wheel of a vehicle. The rotor drive key includes a support member. The assembly further comprises a fastener configured to extend through the wheel boss and the support member in a substantially axial direction of the wheel when the rotor drive key is fit around the wheel boss. A fastening member is configured to engage with a portion of the fastener extending beyond the support member.

    Abstract: In some examples, an assembly includes a rotor drive key configured to be positioned over a wheel boss defined by a wheel. A drive key body defines a trough configured to receive the wheel boss. An inner surface of the drive key body is configured to establish a conforming contact with an outer profile of the wheel boss and oppose relative motion of the rotor drive key in a radial direction of the wheel. The rotor drive key includes a tab having a tab aperture configured to receive a fastener extending in an axial direction of the wheel and engaging the wheel boss.

    Abstract: In some examples, a rotor drive key assembly configured to be positioned on a wheel includes an insert and a rotor drive key. The insert is configured to mate with a wheel boss of the wheel and mechanically connect the rotor drive key with the wheel boss. The rotor drive key is configured to mate with the insert such that the insert limits movement of the rotor drive key relative to the wheel boss in at least a radial direction of the wheel. In some examples, the rotor drive key includes a tab having a tab aperture configured to receive a fastener extending in an axial direction of the wheel and engaging the wheel boss.
