John Howe Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Doubtless I'm being blind but I cannot see how to remove the crankshaft sprocket. The pulley was simple, been there etc - but the sprocket, cannot believe its an extractor exercise as there is so little clearance to grap a hold to.

Rob Walker Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 In my experience this sprocket can be very difficult to remove. It is usually held by corrosion between the crankshaft and the sintered sprocket. Try a bit of gentle heat on the sprocket together with a soak in plus gas or similar. Then a three legged pulley drawer or a lever bar should shift it, trouble is the only bit you can pull against is the pressed steel rim which easily distorts. The answer is apply some coppa slip on reassembley for next time. I caution you not to start banging at it with a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
