914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Cam gear on crank

Posted by: KevinP Jan 28 2006, 03:43 PM

I need to remove the cam gear off the crank so that I can have some balance work done on a rebuild. I usually just have the machine shop do it but I elected to do the removal this time. I've put on several before but never removed one. Should it just be heated and use a gear puller or both?

Thanks for any input gang!

Let the machine shop do it, you need a press.

Do not heat.

While we're at it, NEVER USE A GEAR PULLER to remove the cam drive gear! EVER! It'kk mash the teeth under the puller arms and you'll need a new gear. Every time. The Cap'n
