Daughter is replacing her timing chain/gears on her 95 YJ, 2.5 L, we have everything off to do it, but can't get large gear off, they both slide out easily about 3/4" then large one stops dead, you can acually slide it back and forth making it clunk. We have Hayne and full shop manuals, we've followed them to this point. Can't see behind gear enough to see if there is a clip, and books don't say there is, so any ideas?
95 YJ timing chain questions

I am thinking the key is stuck either in the pulley or on the shaft, but most likely in the pulley.

My book isn't clear on that, but the pulley has to fit on only one way doesn't it? I have seen keys rock in the slot jamming like you describe anyway.

You are sliding it off as an assembly? As per:

Is it a special puller? And yes we are removing all as a unit.
It looks as if a small to medium two-jaw puller might fit. Book just says, "Remove the crankshaft sprocket, camshaft sprocket and timing chain as an assembly". Like it would be easy. Don't forget to line up the marks first.
