There were no instructions with the new gear set. Can I heat the old gear to remove it? The way it looks to me, I'll have to pull the motor to pull the cam as there doesn't seem to be enough room to pull it while the motor is still in the truck.
Maybe some old timer can suggest a way to pull and re-install the gear?
When I was a kid we had a chev 216 drop the timing gear and I'm pretty sure the mechanic did not remove the cam.
