Crank gear.

Hey guys,

I need a tool that can pull the crank gear of the crankshaft. Its just I need to take the oil pump off and that's all that's stopping me at the moment.

Could somebody post a picture of what it looks like and where to but one please

Thanks guys.

It's not the crank pully wheel itself, it's the small gear thing that sits behind it

I'm pretty sure I ended up making one when I removed mine mate. Can't remember what I used now though

I would reccommend the below approach as the easiest!

Two lengths of m8 threaded bar, two m8 washers and nuts.. Drill two appropriately spaced holes in a flat piece of steel, the same width as the holes in the pulley, then one larger hole between the two. Then use a long M10 bolt through the piece of steel (tap the hole or or place/weld a nut to the other side of that steel)... You'll need to put something against the hole in the crank to push against, big washer or something.

Voila. A homemade puller, assemble as is obvious! It should come off fairly easily tbh.

Edit: The holes may be M6... Can't Remember!

Not the pulley, He's on about the sprocket if I'm correct?

Yeah that's the one.

Is the engine still in the car?

Have you tried getting two spanners behind it and either side of it and gentle levering? (you need to have them at close to the thickness of the gap)

Go gentle with the above (I only said about it as it may not be on that tight), the proper way will involve a puller tool utilising the x2 holes one of which can be seen in the above picture do you have any bolts that fit those?

I was about to say what Scooter has said about the holes and a puller being required but alas he's beaten me to it

No it's out the car mate

No I'd have to run out and buy the bolts which is not a problem. If possible I would like to buy just a cheap pully tool if one was available.

I have a set of pully tools but they are the 3 claw type pully tools not the threaded hole type.

Just text you what to get mate.

I just used a 3 legged puller, but of lube, gently does it.

Thanks for all your help and input guys!

I'm now sorted.

Thanks hodge:thumbs:

Bugger - seen this too late as I've got one of them you could have borrowed mate

Pleased you're sorted though.

nice one bud, is this wide enough for the crank pulley too?

Not sure dude, I have a different set of pullers for the main crank pully .

That would of been very kind of you dude

But yeah I'm sorted now

Ash, yes it does fit the Crank Pulley (better than it fitted the timing gear actually!)

nice 1 bud
