last night i got the 13mm bolt off of the end of the crank
i also was able to remove the impeller mount from the crank unsing a slide hammer i then removed the c ring from between the impeller mount and the dizzy gear but i do not know how to remove the dizzy gear. i dont want to use a screwdriver and risk damaging it and i know a slide hammer will trash it... i need to remove the dizzy gear to get the crank bushing off, unless there is another way that i dont know about... please help -jim |

There is a special tool that hooks around the back of the gear and has a flat pad on a threaded shaft that screws against the end of the crank. It's pressed on.. You might be able to fashion something for a slide hammer that hooks around the back of the gear, but I wouldn't reccomend it. The tool is C shaped, with the ID of the "C" just the right size to fit behind the gear. The gear is on VERY tight. You might be able to rent a suitable puller.

Used a hydraulic press like one for wheel bearings off axle shafts to get mine off and used heat to reinstall it.

I use a gear puller to get it off , I am sure you can rent one. To put it back on is a
breeze, use a map gas torch and heat it up it will slide right back on. Just make sure you seat it all the way up to the step on the crank. |

Iff'n yer handy, you can use heat to take it off too. Especially the distributor drive gear, that one's easy. Heat it up (I used Oxy-Acetelyne, but MAPP would probably work and propane might) and use a nice thick leather glove to pull it off, or use a screwdriver to apply light pressure. Once it's heater up it should come off pretty easily.

Is the crank out of the case? If not I don't know if I would use fire, IMHO.
Thats what I get for assuming (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) It was 117 here today, I was talking to a friend and he says " Yah but its a dry heat" so I respond " Yah so is fire". |
