Crank shaft

[boostingsx98]

I am currently building a 6 bolt to put into my 2g and i cant seem to get the crank shaft sprocket out, in order to remove the oil pump and the crank shaft its self. I removed the four bolts and i tryed to pry it with a flat head screw drive and a bar. Is there anything else holding that crankshaft sprocket or something that im missing. I tryed seaching but i could not find any information on removing it....

did you take the square inset crank bolt out?

 

[boostingsx98]

no, how would u take that out?

if you take an impact and put it in the 1/2 inch drive hole, if you know what im talking about, and hit it counterclockwise then it should come out. After that get you a harmonic balance puller, put two screws on opposite sides of the 4 holes. take a 2-3 inch bolt to press up against the block once u have that 1/2 inch inset crank bolt out, take a 1/2 inch rive ratchet and i think it is a 17mm socket to put on the puller and just back it out, should come right off, mine did.

unfortunately i do not have air tools.. and i already took the rear crankshaft seal plate off, so the crank moves freely up and down on one side. So i can barely aply any pressure because the crankshaft will rotate. Any other ideas?

well lodge something between so that the crank does not move. insted of an impact use a 1/2 inch ratchet. Maybe a take a little more time and manpower but it will work just the same

It will take a little more time and manpower but it will work just the same as using an impact

alright ill give it a shot, thanks for the help!

be sure you use a spanner wrench to hold the sprocket in place while you take the crank bolt out

I got the bolt out now all i need to do is remove the actual spocket? Any help on how to get this off, its late at night so i dnt have a chance to rent out a puller.

hmm...what all do you have access to as far as tools go right now?

I have never needed any type of puller to take the crank sprocket off. Take the center bolt off and the crank sprocket should just wiggle right off.

some of them dont just wiggle right off...mine didnt
