I used it to remove the harmonic balancer! im talking about the timing gear sorry for the confusing

 

[noel]

anyone? i cant be the only one with this issue

 

[noel]

i used some Penetrating spray on the timing gear! nothing! the front lip of the timing gear came off from pulling on it so much..without removing the timing gear i cant get to the front seal

The timing gear should have threaded holes for the pulley removal tool:

1james to the rescue.

And once you have it off, go to the Dealer, and grab yourself a new replacement. You don't want to put the damaged one back on.

which pulley removal tool did u use? i did see the 2 holes which look very small... i just a claw)tripod looking tool(in the picture)

 

[noel]

idk why the lip of the gear came off the arrow points to the lip that literally came OFF ...wtf? ...im not that strong to pull it off im guessing its useless now right?

That puller will not take it off.

You need the one with the 4 slots.

Those come off from time to time from old age. Bet to get a new one or a used one and permentally weld it better. Like with a tig.

You need a new gear don't try to use that. I used a pulley remover 2 holes on opposite sides and a center crank handle.

It is something like this:

Bolts go into the holes into your pulley and turning the center bolt on the tool pushes against the crank snout and pulls out the pulley.

Since you can't get behind the pulley you'll need one of these

thanks everyone for the help i will get the correct puller..i really wish i didnt have to change the gear..all cuz of the lip:cry:..i saved the lip maybe i can put it back on the gear.

Its called a bolt type wheel puller. Harbor Freight, $13.

 

[noel]

if i dont change the timing gear what will happen? kinda of a stupid question...even if i get the lip back on

No, you need one of these to do that.

That engine must have been beat on pretty hard, because mine came off by hand.
