Changing the oil pump..... I've read about people using a 1/2" impact gun to remove the crankshaft timing sprocket, but how do you stop the pulley from spinning? I know i could lock the flywheel, but the trans is long installed. Any other methods?

Thanks in advance.

chances are it will move a bit but at ~150psi the bolt will break loose first. just did mine yesterday

 

ok. So that takes care of it as far as removal. How did you torque it back to spec? I think its like 124 ft/lbs or so. Did you torque it back, or did you just impact it back on? Says to torque it to 123 ft/lbs.

I took mine off with the impact and slammed it back with the impact and a 120 ft. lb. torque stick. I have had no problems.
