FOSTA Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hey guys, I need a tool that can pull the crank gear of the crankshaft. Its just I need to take the oil pump off and that's all that's stopping me at the moment. Could somebody post a picture of what it looks like and where to but one please Thanks guys.

FOSTA Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 It's not the crank pully wheel itself, it's the small gear thing that sits behind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm pretty sure I ended up making one when I removed mine mate. Can't remember what I used now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) I would reccommend the below approach as the easiest! Two lengths of m8 threaded bar, two m8 washers and nuts.. Drill two appropriately spaced holes in a flat piece of steel, the same width as the holes in the pulley, then one larger hole between the two. Then use a long M10 bolt through the piece of steel (tap the hole or or place/weld a nut to the other side of that steel)... You'll need to put something against the hole in the crank to push against, big washer or something. Voila. A homemade puller, assemble as is obvious! It should come off fairly easily tbh. Edit: The holes may be M6... Can't Remember! Edited December 15, 2013 by TheTurtleshead (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzy T Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Not the pulley, He's on about the sprocket if I'm correct? http://www.import-car.com/Content/Site308/Articles/03_01_2009/63201photo7soft_00000023584.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Is the engine still in the car? Have you tried getting two spanners behind it and either side of it and gentle levering? (you need to have them at close to the thickness of the gap) Go gentle with the above (I only said about it as it may not be on that tight), the proper way will involve a puller tool utilising the x2 holes one of which can be seen in the above picture do you have any bolts that fit those?

Fizzy T Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I was about to say what Scooter has said about the holes and a puller being required but alas he's beaten me to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's out the car mate No I'd have to run out and buy the bolts which is not a problem. If possible I would like to buy just a cheap pully tool if one was available. I have a set of pully tools but they are the 3 claw type pully tools not the threaded hole type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
