Crank Sprocket Removal

[mannydabu]

During timing belt removal, I noticed that the crank sprocket has some dents on most of the teeth. I need to remove it, but how. I have read all the posted threads out there but there are not exactly how to remove the key that is holding it. Do I yank it out or how?

 

Any suggestions>?

 

Thanks..

You need a puller. The sprocket is secured by a woodruff key. You need to remove the sprocket before you can remove the key.

 

However I am puzzled how a rubber belt could put any dents in the sprocket. Take a picture and post here.

I may have damaged it when I was removing the cam sprockets, but I need to remove it. I have the new replacement and a puller, but don't know how the puller can attach to the sprocket.

You need jaw puller.

Why would you pull cam sprockets to do a t belt? Those freaking bolts are on like permanant.

Copy and paste from ALLDATA. No mention of a puller but I have my engine in pieces, I'll try and see if it does need a puller tonight for you.

it just pulls off. no need to remove key. its just stuck on with corrosion or rust. any why are you removing it anyway?

ive done plenty of timing belts on the older ones and it should just pull off the crank. for it to have small dents and dings is totally normal from what i've seen.

I pulled the sprockets with a little help from a jaw puller. As soon as it moved, the sprocket just slid off.
