removing woodruff key from crankshaft

Sep 20, 2007 2 Replies

I got the camshaft gear off. So how do I take the key off w/o damage?



tap one end of it...it will pop up on the other end....

Push the flywheel end of the woodruff key towards the axis of the crankshaft, so that the pulley end gets lifted. Then you will have space to pry it off with a flathead screwdriver from the pulley end.
