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

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.
