timing chain

flattusmaximus78 · August 17th, 2008, 05:52 PM

so I pulled off my timing chain bolt and does the sprocket or whatever you want to call it slip off? The bottom one for the crank wants to slide off but the top wont.

Yes, it just pulls off. It may take a little gentle prying from behind with a large screw driver. Most of the time just outward pressure with some wiggling will do it. You can also try lighty bumping the face of the cam gear with a dead blow mallet to help loosen it.

Thanks bro, a couple taps of the wrench on all four corners and she came off. Got the cam out to no problem.
