crank sprocket

Post by **nocwage** » Tue Oct 05, 2004 9:00 am

I haven't done one on the CA but I did on on a KA24E, I tihnk it was a 22mm socket and we just got a bar with a nice big pipe on it, put the car in gear and cracked the sucker loose!

The hardest part was finding a 22mm socket anywhere on a sunday

Whats funny was that I knew about all the problems that people had with getting these off so I had one ordered and waiting at Nissan for me. I thought I'd give it a try to see if it would come off before I started cutting on it. I Sprayed some PB Blaster (THE BEST rust penetrant in the world IMO) and let it sit for a day. I came back to it the next day, and not only did the Key come out with a pair of needle nose and practically NO force, the sproket basically came off by hand after I worked it back and for a bit. I can't say for sure, but I really think it was the PB Blaster that saved mine. I think that stupid sproket is actually still at Nissan with my other stuff I've had there.....

Well -next- time I'll try that. Right now I've got a hole through one side of the sprocket and another halfway deep across from it. As long as it comes off...

how the heck do you have an unintentionally amphibious '87 MR2?

Well it was sitting on a street in north Jersey when we had flooding back in August. Went underwater to about the roofline, lifted off the ground and floated down the street a bit. Ended up parked in front of another house.

Or so I'm told; I bought it from someone else to use as a "learn how to weld body panels" project.

Wow, that's a great idea! I can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks!

If you still have the flywheel attached, put a bolt into one of the bolt holes for the gearbox, and get someone to hold a pry-bar or strong screw driver on it and jam it onto the teeth. this should wedge it so you can undo the crank pulley bolt.

If you have a rattle gun, it will be a 5 second job

`unintentionally amphibious`, guess that`s better than unitentionally airborne

Although, unintentionally cratered would be even worse. The flight might be scary, but it's the landing that does the damage
