Default ls6 oil pump and slp double roller chain problem

I am installing a ls6 oil pump and slp double roller timing chain for a friend of mine.

The directions for the chain install back on the crank are not very clear.

Do I need a special tool to put the crank gear for the chain and the timing chain and the oil pump gear? I did a search and came up with a "Kent-Moore #J41665 C'shaft Balancer & Sprocket Installer". I did a search and came up empty handed as far as what it looks like or where I can get one?

Any help would be very appreciated.

No tool required. The sprocket is keyed. You can use the old sprocket you removed to push the new one on the crankshaft. Get the new one started. Be sure the keyway is lined up with the key. Slide it on as far as you can by hand. Buck the old sprocket up against the new one. Tap it home with a rubber mallet or a small hammer and brass knocker. The sprocket bucks up against a boss on the crank when seated fully home.

Thanks for the help. I am going to try that now, I didn't even think about that.

This is what I did and it worked great.

You can also use the old crank bolt to press the new one on. Pic...

It slide on fine using the old one and a socket. No oven needed.
