i've been trying for like a few days now to remove my crank, i have the flywheel side completey out where i can actually lift that side of the crank up. But for some reason the woodriff key on the timing side will not budge. I need to get the keyway out to pull the gear off the end to be able to slide the crank out....has anyone esle had trouble like this? I mean I've tried heating it up, prying on it, hammering it lol. I mean my last resort would be to cut it. Unless there's some trick i dunno about.

 

Just keep tapping on it from all sides w/ a mallet and a flathead screwdriver to try to loosen it up. That's one of those parts that's just a plain bitch to do sometimes.

 

spary some wd40 on it and let it sit over night.
