Default Help removing 351 Cleveland timing chain and sprocket
It's my first time inside a Cleveland, and I'm trying to remove the chain and sprocket. The center bolt is out of the top sprocket, and the fuel pump eccentric is removed. The top sprocket appears stuck on the front of the cam. I can't get behind it to try to gently pry it off the cam. The sprocket has three slots in it, but the back of the slots are beveled right into the center hub, so even if I buy a three legged puller the legs will have nothing to grab on to the back of the sprocket - they'll just slide off. What's the best way to get this thing off?
