Ok, I finally got the crankshaft pulley off and pulled the cam. The lash on the crankshaft gear and camshaft timing gears is excessive to say the least. The thrust plate to camgear tolerance was completely crazy, so I ordered a new gearset, thrustplate etc... The problem is I cant get the crankshaft timing gear off the crank. How do you get the crank pulley key out off the crank? I assume I need to get this out before I pull the gear b/c w/out doing so the gear wont pull off. Any help would be appreciated. Also what type of puller should I use? The one I used to pull the crankshaft pulley doesnt work.
