Hey all, doing my crank seal this weekend, pulled the crank pulley easy enough with a 3 leg puller but now completely stuck on the cam belt pinion... Can't get behind it to pull and theres nothing on it to grip onto... Any ideas anyone? Don't have a blowtorch or freeze spray till I get paid : $
Thanks a lot
Chris
It should just pop off pretty easily once the nut is off. Give it a few light taps from behind with the hammer handle.

are you talking about the timing belt gear? it has 2 holes on it for 12mm bolts. well 8mm bolts with 12 mm heads. anyway you need a tool that you can put those bolts in and then like a gear puller drive a center bolt in to pull the gear out

Can't get behind it as its flush against the oil pump. Just tried to lock an exhaust clamp round it the tease it off with a 3 leg puller and a borrowed blow torch. Clamp came off before the pinion would even budge. It's also been soaked in wd40 overnight. What gives?!?
Hey Smay, think your talking about the drive pulley/harmonic balancer pulley. The pinion behind for the cambelt/waterpump/oilpump/camshafts is the one that's stuck solid. It's not got any holes and nothing to grip onto. Can't get behind to pull it mate.
Thanks mgnt232 you're a lot of help man lol? Supra kid, I changed the knock sensor with a brand new one lady month because it was bad.

Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
It should slide out freely once the crank is off..make sure the square key on the crankshaft (the pertrusion that makes your line up the notch on the crank pully) is all the way in, a gentle tap with a small hammer will ensure its seated properly and not preventing the timing gear from coming out.
good luck

ur gonna hve to buy a new 1, ur gonna have to cut 2 sides to it to grab it with a pulley, grind with a wheel. and buy a new 1, thats how i got mine out on my 5s, luckly my 3s it wasnt stuck on there
yeah i looked at mine and there wasnt any holes either. for I think the Supra did have them, i cant remember now. if its frozen on there you could try spraying some penetrating oil (PB Blaster) on there, let it sit for a while, then use a torch, get it hot and it should slide off.

Thanks for all your help guys. Really appreciate your replys and ideas. Thinking I'm gonna have to grind it off like mi645 said. Tried heating it, freezing it, soaking it and every trick in the book. It's all lined up, just won't shift! Gonna have another crack at it today before work. Thanks again chaps : )
anytime lol, just telling u what i had to do, cuz mine didnt come out even all the tricks and ideas like smay said pb blaster mine wanted to be forced out, just go to toyota or junk yard another gear, i wish i had a spare for you.
when u grind it out make sure to grind straight and deep, then the pulley will suck it out.
good luck
