Camshaft pulley

[Simon Knight]

Hi all, can anybody tell me how to remove the camshaft pulley on a 1986 GTL please? I have removed the bolt and washer, the pulley moves back and forward about 1-2mm but won`t come off. Am i missing something? Thanks.

Cheers Simon.

Use a puller or two levers and it will come off. There is no key on the camshaft or other means of locating it.

HI Angel, thanks for the reply, i just wanted to check before using force, i`ll try what you suggest.

Cheers Simon.

G-E-N-T-L-Y does it! A puller. together with copious amounts of WD40 or Plusgaz; tighten up the puller, spray the shaft, a little more pressure from the puller and so on. Don't over-do it, as a broken or bent pulley won't help anyone!

Hi Andrew, thanks for the advice.
