crankshaft gear bolt size?

[starfish]

I'm trying to get the crankshaft gear off so I can put in a new front seal.does any one know what size bolt threads into the holes on the gear? I would need to use bolts at least 3 1/2" long for my puller to fit.The bolts that came with the puller are all standard thread,and are to big.

Um, you shouldn't need a puller to take the cam gears off, thats why they are pegged, b/c they are not press fit like the crank UDP.. once that bolts off, it takes some elbow grease to gently wiggle them off..

those spokes are thin, i would be more worried about bending or breaking a gear (due to improper use of the tool/user)

Are you talking about the CRANKshaft gear?

"Take a good look at the picture above. Thats what you are working towards. However, a little crankshaft sprocket is standing in your way. You'll want good access to this part, so put the block on an engine stand. You'll want grade 10.9 M12 x 1.75 bolts. Thats two in the 80 mm length and 2 in the 100 mm length with matching nuts and washers. Bolt the arms of the engine stand bracket to the 4 accessible points on the rear of the block. Now its time to get to work. You will need WD-40, an air impact gun, a small harmonic damper puller, several M6 x 80 mm bolts, and assorted washers. This sprocket doesn't give up easily, but it will go. The bolts thread into the sprocket. The washers keep the bolt heads from escaping the arms of the puller. The impact gun is a necessity. It helps break the sprocket loose from its home. You'll probably want goggles as the tiny bolts can break and go flying."

That link should answer any other questions you have too

Your right ,I mean crankshaft gear!Every ####in place I've called to get a new one keeps thinking I want a cam gear,they got me saying the wrong shit now!I got the puller.The bolts that came with it are the wrong size.Ialso have air and plenty of spray.

I dont want to pull the engine out.I did the WP and I'm also doing the TB kit,but I also want to do the seal behind the crankshaft gear.I was thinking about just cutting it off but I cant find anyplace that has one.Anyone know were I can order one?

is that the exact size of the bolt,I'm gonna have to order them online?is M6-1.0 the right bolt?I cant find these bolts anywhere!

What is the best way to cut the gear off?I heard this could be done.Can you do this without damaging the crank shaft?

M6x1.0 is the diameter and thread pitch for the crank gear. Ace, Home Depot, etc. sell them. Or just order some from McMaster.
