Removing The Cam Sprocket.

[Guest BrainFluid]

Taking the head off an XUD7T (diesel) and have got to the point where haynes says remove the cam's sprocket. Ive got the bolt out but the sprocket aint just sliding off and I dont want to force it.

 

How do I get the Cam sprocket off?

 

And what is a woodruff key?

 

Thanks,

 

Nate.

Taps from side to side and lots of wiggling generally does the trick, or maybe a puller if its proper stuck, or you could try shocking it loose.

What? By showing it my willy? or by wiring it up to the mains?

 

 

Thanks Man. As long as its okay to attack it a bit thats good.

Give it a soak in WD40 and then wiggle it like hell, usually works for me.....oooh er.

Shocking it, as in hitting with a hammer

Its a key made out of wood and is ruff

 

Its a small chunk of metal that sits in a cut out, helps 'lock' 2 pieces together so they turn at the same rate.

 

Here's a pic i borrowed off someone's website:

 

 

Does that help?

As said above, give it a few dunts and it comes off... as with most things on a 205
