Help!

Hi guys I have removed everything from the 440 But the (i guess you would call it) an oil pump "drive" I meshes with the cam. anyways I don't know how to remove it. If you know how to remove it please help.

insert a large screw driver into the slot & rotate it up out of the cam gear , if it is an old drive it may be varnished & hard to get it to walk up out of the cam gear

not really understanding what your saying.My book doesnt show the oil pump dealing with the cam are you talking about the driveshaft and gear in oil pump

The gear on the cam runs the distributer and the oil pump from opposite ends of the same shaft.

yeah I got that it is the oil pump. I have already pulled to cam. The pump walks up about 3 inches but I cant get it up any higher than that.

Pull harder maybe surface tension? Just to clarify you are talking about the shaft that has the gear that meshes with the one on the cam, right?

yepp thats the one

 

[Chryco Psycho]

it will often build varnish on the shaft below the bushing over time & may be difficult to remove because of this , work it back in & out & the varnish should come off the shaft enough to slide it up

Yepp that is hat happened. I just beat it out with my "persuader" (6 pound sledge). Got it out.

When in doubt use a bigger hammer but maybe not THAT big!
Glad you got it out.
