How to remove crank gear 120-130

I am in the middle of replacing the timing gear on my b20, and I can't get the crank gear off. It does not have threaded holes on it for a puller, and there is not enough room behind it for my other 3 arm puller.

Thanks, Steve

    How to remove crank gear 120-130

    Steve;

    From memory...I believe the OE gear does have holes for a puller, but they are mostly if not totally covered by the seal sleave...have another look...I believe the seal sleave is a keyed fit but which comes off with circumferencially even force from a couple of screwdrivers etc. ...then the puller holes should become visible...and if you got some aftermarket gear on there, a similar two screwdriver technique might work on the gear also...

    Goood Luck

      I belive there are two threaded holes in the gear just thread two bolts all the way through,no puller required

        How to remove crank gear 120-130

        The gear that I am going to put in has those holes in it, but the one on the car doesn't have them. Have been trying to pry off with a couple screwdrivers...but no luck yet

          Success 120-130

          As we used to say in Minnesota....Uff Da. I will always be sure that the crank gear that I install has threaded holes in it....

          I ended up cutting some notches in the teeth of the gear with a dremel, and used a three arm puller to get it out a bit, and then moved the arms to the edge of the gear and pulled it off. Will have to do some good cleaning of the area and put it back together tomorrow. Thanks for your replies.
