Re: Removing crank timing sprocket?!?! You need a puller... None of my regular pullers would get behind it. So I used my harmonic ballancer puller ( like a gear puller but with four arms with slots instead of jaws) and caught it with the heads of three 3/8" carriage bolts. It came off pretty easily once I got it hooked. I haft to laugh. When I first saw the topic I thought you wanted to take off your reluctor wheel. I was going to say stop but then I read the post. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
