Hey guys got a quick question, but first I'll give you a little background on my prob.
My 84 MKII which I bought in October developed a serious timing retard probelm eventually resutling in the car not being drivable.
The consensous was it was the keyway on the timing gear/pully.
I pulled the front end apart yesterday (first nice day I could work on car) and got the cam cover off and moved the crank with 19mm socket and found there was definatley play between moving the crank and the movement on the cams.
So I poped the crank bolt off (was only like at 50ftlbs or less!!) however I could not the crank pully/balancer off.
First question:
Would a pully puller from canadian tire do the job or do I need to use something else? I only ask becuase one of the guys in the toronto Supra club managed to break two of these in a row during removal and they cost like $585 new from the dealer.
Second question:
Does anyone have a main timing gear they could sell me, I don't relish the idea of paying $70 to buy a new one, but everyone telly me when the keyway goes it usually wrecks the gear as well. The keyways arnt a big deal only $2 a peice at dealer.
Thanks for your input
