How do you remove the timing sprocket?

The one the crank pulley bolts to? There's not enough room between the little ridge cast into the block and the sprocket itself to get a gear puller in there.

When I get it off, how do I get it back on?

I used a steering wheel puller to get mine off.

How'd you put it back on?

Steering wheel puller is a good idea.

yeah steering wheel puller works good!did mine the same way!to put it back on i just lined it up and tapped it back on with a deadblow hammer(hit it easy)and tightened it back up!!

nothing like a BFH (big f**kin hammer) very multi-purpose tool.

So there's supposed to be a bolt in the crank? I thought so.

Stupid previous owner. There's SO many bolts missing from this truck/engine it's not funny.

Spun bearing in #3. The top ring in 1, 2 & 4 fell apart when I pushed the pistons out.

There is supposed to be a 21mm bolt on the end of the crank and 6 10mm bolts that hold the belt pulley to the timing pulley

The pulley bolts were there, just no huge bolt in the middle of the crank.
