Yes, I believe the crank sprocket is pressed on. Not sure if you can simply use a 3 jaw puller or not as ive always used ls6 or ls2 timing chains.

try cooking it in the oven... (It will be warmer and expand, while the crank snout is still cold and "small.")

Maybe a short section of exhaust pipe and a rubber mallet?
