Why the hell did Mr Nissan go home early one friday night in the design process and not design the crank timing belt pully with 2 blind 6mm threaded holes to enable us to put a simple extractor puller on and just simply pull it off:sad:...no room for a slide extractor,3 legged puller or pry bar without damaging the oil pump at all. After over 20 years stuck on my crank i had to cut mine off.

 

btw..we have 2 gravity return pipes from turbo,s to sump...remind me whats the small 3rd one for out the side of sump:confused1:

oil cooler..of course,thanks Mark. NO mate i mean the timing belt crank pully not the main.

I had to do the same thing, think the new one was about 30 quid ish from nissan, was a couple of years ago tho.

Had problems with mine with a prong puller, used a proper harmonic balancer puller, there are 2 m6 bolt holes in the centre of the balancer, just put some decent washers on some bolts and use a proper harmonic balancer puller.

Yeah that's great for belt pulleys ... But the main timing belt sprocket ... There's no room to get a fork type remover on it

no mate ime on about the bottom timing belt pully:winkiss:

i sthis the only thing youve come across and thought this lol? i think i could come up with along list of stuff ive found and thought why the hell did you do that, it makes my life soooo much harder than if youd done it slightly to the right!

Hi Znut, got mine off by undoing bolt half way and using puller in the slots on pulley.....

I hope i am on about the correct pulley....lol

Big heavy one??

Ime Ok thanks Darren :winkiss:

Replying a bit late but uhhh.... crowbar.

Yeah if you want to wreck your engine and need to change the oil pump, i think people are getting confused with which part bri is on about here, so here is a picture of the offending part in question.

 

Have you tried a massive amount of heat and a couple of pry bars behind it Bri?

 

and If I'd known that you could pull the crank pulley of with yer bellend, I wouldn't have shelled out for my puller set..:lol:

Sorted Dave:thumbup1:

Last time i actually just used 2 massive flat blade screwdrivers, just tapped them in behind gently in various places and it pops off. didn't damage the oil pump housing, just gotta use some CRC penetrate/ a lubricant that freezes the parts.

 

You could still use a small crowbar, just dont go being a pikey with it.
