Hi all,

My 26 year old son, to his great credit, is determined to keep his beloved '83 245 wagon on the road (with 300K on the clock).

He's in the middle of his first timing belt change, and all has gone well until now. He's concerned that he put the crank sprocket on backwards and torqued it into place. Where previously it would come off fairly easily once the bolt was removed, now it seems stuck in place.

I guess a possible next step would be to buy/rig up a puller and try to get it back off, then try to verify which if front and back.

Ideas? Advice? Thanks!

Monty
