Hi all.
I have an 83 ranger 2.3L on an engine stand. I need to remove the crankshaft sprocket so I can replace the front main oil seal.
Problem is there is a timing belt guide (that bolts to the engine block) that almost entirely surrounds the sprocket making it impossible to use a standard gear puller on the sprocket.
I can?t seem to locate a procedure for removing the sprocket. Chilton and Hayes gloss over this step - saying merely to remove it.
Does anyone know how to remove the crankshaft sprocket?
Thanks kpg
