Well I was in a big hurry with my engine and put the damn timing gear on the crank backwards. You cant thread the bolts in from the back side. And that sucker is on there. Its my only one. I need get it off without cutting it or breaking it. Let me know my options. Thanks.


Oh yea. Is it safe to just leave it on there like that? The wall would be on the inside.

 

Ow **** man. I wouldn't leave it like that. Can't you get a new oen from the JY if you ruin it?

 

I already broke one. I dont feel like going to the junkyard and pulling them off with no air tools.

 

And its pushed all the way back to the oil pump. I didnt even notice. I even put it all back together and didnt notice. I dont know how I missed that. I was even peeking in the haynes manual.

 

i have an extra set

if your talking about the 2.4/2.0 cam gears..

oh wait are you talking about the UDP.. cuz you said the crank timing gear.. not sure what that is...

 

Lol. The pulley on the crank that moves the timing belt. Lol. The one inside the plastic covering.

 

you need a special tool crankshaft sprocket remover 6793 or a puller might work
this site has one

might as well use this for the install

from my understanding it need to be a certain distance away from the block in order forthe t beltto line up correctly.

 

The bolts dont thread from the back side of the timing pulley.

 

you really have no option but to smash it with a hammer... it will brake really easy... the dealership price is only like 10 bucks...

 

Thanks.
