How do i remove the sprocket behind can gear?

[axl911]

I removed the cam gear from my 964. But how do I remove the sprocket flange (#15 see pic)? It seemed stuck. Do I use a gear puller?



thanks,

Two rolling head bars (lady fingers) or and gear puller will work fine. The gears should not be very tight.

My cam gear popped off easily with a gear puller, but the woodruff key was troublesome. I had to push down interior end enough to get front to pop up enough to lever up with a small screwdriver. All this was after the key\cam soaked an evening in WD-40. I hope yours pops out with ease!

just set a screwdriver blade into the front of the key and tap with a hammer lightly and it rolls right out. grab it with some dykes to finish the job.

I used a gear puller, and pulled it out. This board is fantastic.

do the dykes mind being used in this fashion?

Mark,

As long as you are rough, they don't mind.
