Luka-P Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi, I cant really find specific information on this so thought Id ask. In the rebuild Im at the stage where the crankshaft needs to come out. The gear that drives the belt at the front needs to be removed. Can this be done with a gear puller or is a specific tool needed. If so, does anyone have a drawing for it so I can knock one out at work today Cheers!

SimonB Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 You just need a gear puller - I have a Machine Mart one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Usually just heating it with a hot air gun will expand it enough to pull off by hand. DO NOT damage or loosen the crank trigger star wheel that's very poorly attached to it. I TIG weld them on when I do an engine build and turn the weld down in the lathe. If they become loose they can affect timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip! --- I just ragged mine off with a puller, got a nice new one from Mr T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Its worth putting new pulleys on, we're seeing a few now where the crank sensor pickup washer comes loose which can cause some damage to your engine, not worth messing around for £40 approx. Buy yourself a new one, thats after you butcher it getting it off with a pair of screw drivers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka-P Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Well, I say 'fairly'. Not to worry Mr Wilson, all will be replaced as new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
