Hi All

This doesn't seem to have any interest in coming off...3 bolts are out...does it just need some persuadin' or am i missing something<--entirely likely!

Advice appreciated as always,

Five-8

I have come to understand over the last 3 years...that when i post a question and it doesn't get a response...it is because i have asked a dumb question.(and that is probably the way it should be)

I shall now go and contemplate the inadequate merits of my question and go and find the answer that surely was/is clearly staring me in the face.



Cheers,

Remove the key in the cam, so the seal collar can move....it has to either come off first or come off with the aluminum housing. Neither can happen with the key there.

Adrian,
Sorry I can't offer help with the quandary you find for I have no experience with this up to this point.
I am awaiting the wiser ones to chime in, for I will be where you are now in the not to distant future, and address this question.

A Woodruff key - the Wise and experienced will always help and answer a good question.

Thank you Greg. This will point me in the right direction.
And...as i had come to suspect...answer is right in front of me.

But why is it all so clean?

And yes gentle work with a rubber mallet help coax mine out to.

"Cleanliness is close to...ummm something"...can't remember

Polishing up the mallet first thing in the morning.

I had to turn mine while pulling to work it loose

SO...cautionary tale here...removed key and sleeve...no problem...started tapping with rubber mallet...and now i've pooched it. I honestly was NOT hitting it hard and was trying to keep the mallet flush.So it seems i have been schooled the hard way yet again<sigh>.
Question is...what to do now?
I know this piece isnt stressed, but vibration alone will surely cause it to break completely..and that is gonna be really bad.
If i order a replacement, i'm going to have to remove the sleeve correct?How difficult is that gonna be?

Suggestions really appreciated here

Thanks,

Omg.. I literally just sent the pair from my 81 parts car out the other day to a guy who bought them on eBay dirt cheap. I can ask if he really needs both sides, maybe he doesn't..

Unfortunate, but Mark Anderson probably has a nice used one ...

Matt...thanks...Tom @ 928Intl has one($25.00)...kind of you to offer to find out though.

So...Anybody know if Cold Weld could offer an interim fix that will last til my next belt change?Never used the stuff...might not be able to live with the heat?

Thanks to all once again

Cheers,
