Hey all, does anyone know of an easy way of gettin the small pulley off the end of the crank shaft so I remove it? (at the front, the small on behind the main crank pulley)

 

Everything else has been removed, but can't seem to remove the crank shaft without taking this off. Is it just a case of pulling it off? I've got a puller, but there is very limited room to get aroung the pulley, so no use...

 

Cheers...

Yes, you need to get this off to get the oil pump off.

 

If you can't pull it off with the puller, you will have to drill and tap 2 M5/M6 holes and make a puller.

 

Try not to damage the teeth as they are mega money from nissan :(

If you try and force the sprocket youll risk damaging the oil pump.The pump is three times dearer than the sprocket so id just drill through the sprocket then split it with a sharp chisel.

That's a very good point, I forgot that... the oil pump is only 3-4mm thick aluminium so whatever you do, don't get a big screwdriver behind the sprocket and lever it off.
