I started on my timing belt and water pump maintenance. Everything went excellent all the way down to the crank gear.
I was able to pull my keyway with pliers, but the gear itself is stuck on the crank. I tried with my hand and then soaked it in PB Blaster and then tried with two small prybars. This did nothing but result in me breaking the back edge.
Everything i searched seemed to say either attempt to torch it or try and carefully cut it off with a dremel.
Does anyone have a better solution or option??
