Split my 1600 case and the brass distributor drive gear on the crankshaft has some damage. Does anyone have any tips for removing and replacing these? I see theres a special puller but don't really want to buy the tool for a one off job. There is no obvious damage to the dissy drive shaft/gear so I was planning not to replace this. Good idea/bad idea?
I did get a 3 leg puller under mine but the puller chews the brass ..needed a bit of filing of the tips of three teeth when I was making one engine out of two.
Put it on greaseproof paper. Serve with fromage frais Seriously, heat the gear for a while in the oven, then get your Big Gloves on.
