They can be a bit tight....Get a mate to hold a ring spanner on the cam pulley while you untighten the crankshaft pulley bolt. If you are on your own get a socket and a large ratchet or torque wrench if you've got one on the bottom pulley (which drives the dizzy). I use a big torque wrench and wedge it in under the chassis rail. It also helps if you have the radiator out.....Seems like a lot of work, but I like change the cam belt, water pump, thermostat housing and thermostat and sump gasket all at the same time, once a year.

Thanx whooligan
The motor is on an engine stand so access is no problem, I've got the 'V' (fan belt) pulley off no probs - it's the timing belt pulley/cog on the crankshaft thats the problem, can't see how to get a gear puller on, assumming you use a gear puller, without stuffing up the alloy timing cover. |

You dont need a gear puller at all???? All that holds it on is a bolt and concave washer. Remove this and give it a little tap and it should pop off.

Why do you need to remove the cog from the crankshaft? Normally you'd flip the motor, remove the whole crank and replace the upper seal with crank out. |

whooligan its the bottom timing belt cog I'm referring to & I need to replace the seal in the alloy timing housing & as far as I can see the timing belt cog has to be off before the alloy timing housing can be removed & the seal in it replaced.

These photos may help, from when I assembled my RS2000's Pinto:
In the last photo there, the cogged wheel on the crankshaft just slids on the keyway. Tim |

After alot of gentle tap tapping-WD40-more tap tapping finally off the bloody cog came, just as well cos the seal was a hard & brittle as hell. Thanks for the input whooligan & timmeh |
