stripy Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 i am having a problems removing the crankshaft gear off the end of the crank, i have made up a puller but as the gear is so close to the casing there isnt much room behind it for anything substantial behind it. is there a puller made for this job. or anyone got any ideas ? i have tried heating it up with no sucsess.....it is realy stuck fast.

western Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 the puller bolts should screw into the 2 threaded holes in the front face of the gear, there is a special tool LRT-12-078 & LRT-12-031 both a very expensive though. some Tdi timing kits include the bolts/puller for this job.

Mo Murphy Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Stripy, I've just had a look and the holes on the crankshaft sprocket are M5. Mine was very tight but I persevered with 2 big flat blade screwdrivers, gently prying opposite sides, but it was tight all the way along the woodruff keys. A favour too if I might ask - I need a couple of pics of your power steering pump set up, if you're not too busy HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be better Ralph, to use 3 bolts as there are 3 holes pitched around the sprocket. HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somethingwitty Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Get some thick steel plate, drill a centre hole and 3 holes for the M5 bolts and then use a suitably large bolt and nut to draw it all off - protecting the crank nose with a sacrificial bit of plate - I made a puller for mine, took a long time too since I pinched the steel from work and forgot it's origin - Rolled Homogeneous Armour - unsurprisingly pretty bloody hard! Wasn't pretty but worked, anything else is less than certain and may damage something expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
