Hey guys, I am just about done with my cam swap, I am just running into a couple problems. Basically I need to know that best way to get the crank sprocket back on as well as the hub. With the A/C condensor in there it is hard to get any sort of swing from a hammer or anything. Just wonder what the methods you guys have used was and if there is one that is better than the next.

Any help is appreciated, thanks

 

you need to put a short pipe or something in the middle of the hub or you will mushroom the end of it hammering it on the crank so the balancer wont fit... ask me how i know as far as getting enough swing.. just get a heavy hammer and you wont need a lot of room to swing.

 

did you remove the radiator and fan? I pretty sure you did but there should be enough room to play with keep tryin and youll get it

 

Beating it on is not the best way to do it. A high grade threaded rod with washers and nut or a real installation tool should be used.

 

most removal tools are install tools as well - do yourself a big favor and use the right tool for the job. Beating on your hub is a great way to break something.

 

I agree .....DONT beat on it.....youll risk damaging your crank bearings.
