Title: Pump question..
Post by: TD100 on March 01, 2011, 08:15:09 am

 I've had a pump for some time now off a Land Rover 300 tdi and really need to get back on to this project. How can I remove the hub that mounted the timing sprocket to it? I assumed it was just pressed on and even after allowing it to soak for a day or two in PB Blast, it still will not come off. I've used a MAP torch as well as breaking off one of the jaws on my puller, nothing will budge. I am afraid to go any further for fear of damaging it. Just want to remove it so I can put on the sprocket off my 1Z.

 Thank you!

if you use a puller again, hit the puller with a hammer, right on the end of it, inline with the shaft..
