I've been trying to take off the camshaft sprocket but simply can't get it done. I have tried using 2 different pullers, but still no results.
Any tips and advice are highly appreciated.

The camshaft sprocket isn't pressed on. Just take the 3 bolts out and pull it off with your hands or tap it with a rubber mallet if it's stuck.
If you are talking about the crank sprocket and oil pump gear, you need to use a 3 jaw puller. Just make sure it is big enough to get to the very back of the sprocket.

what he said.

your camshaft sprocket has 3 bolts and a dowl pin that just keeps it on straight. after you take the bolts out it should just come right off. your CRANK sprocket is a different story and requires a puller. never tried removing one of those though.

You guys are correct. I did mean the crank sprocket, my bad. I have tried using different ones but it still won't budge. (even tho the pullers have a good grip on the gear.)

The crank sprocket just sits on the crank snout right?? Or is it connected to it? I just want to make sure that way I know how much MORE I should force it off, Thanks.

It has a light press fit. It must be pulled off with a puller. I have had good luck with 2 jaw pullers. I screw in an old stock crank bolt to give the puller something to push against.

Use the puller and hit the side of the sprocket in between the jaws. If your throwing it away use a hammer. If not, a piece of wood and a hammer.

Thank you guys, I'm going to give it another try. It will be thrown away since I bought the double roller. I guess I'm just being impatient since I want my car running already :/
