I'm in the process of changing the timing chain and crank sprocket along with the ball bearing in front of the crank sprocket. The manual i have didn't say anything about heating the inner bearing race or the crank sprocket so i just fit my two jaw puller behind the crank sprocket teeth and tried to pull them off. Yes i protected the threads on the end of the crankshaft. Nothing budged so i thought i better slow down before i damage something. I saw that snowbum mentions putting heat to the bearing and sprocket. I don't feel real good about the two jaw puller and really don't like how little material is in contact with the puller behind the sprocket teeth.
Does anyone have the special tools for pulling these items and would you be willing to let me borrow them? My back-up plan is to find a three jaw puller and spark up the torch but only if i absolutely have to.
Thanks,
