How do you pull cam gear off of crank snout.

I ordered a comp cam timing set and I am having trouble getting the cam gear off of to crank so I can install the new cam gear.

Thanks for your help

Rent or buy one from AutoZone. They're fairly cheap to keep.....

I ended up using my harmonic damper puller and hooked the gear with the heads of three carriage bolts. mine came off allot easier than i expected.

The new gear just slides right on. I did use a little lube to make it smoother. I had to use a 3-jaw puller to get the old one off.
