so far everything is going great got half the car apart doing the plenum hoses chain guides knock sensors transmission coolerand two bad fuel injectors but the question i have is - how do i remove the oil pump chain both prockets spin freely and i cant slide the sprocket off the crank - do i have to remove the oil chain guides first ? or do i have to remove the gear thats on the oil pump and then what do i brace it against when trying to turn the bolt

i dont know if this matters but its an active suspension

Why don't you read Tangalora's excellent post? There are several others also.

Hope you are not trying to do thids without a manual!

I stuck a screwdriver in between the gap in the oil pump sprocket while taking a 12 or 14mm (can't remember which), and turning the nut on the sprocket until it came loose. It was pretty easy once the screwdriver was in place. I was just careful to not scratch the oil pump.

i ended up using the impact gun to get it off
