i hope it didn't get shut to it liek my drain plug, 130k miles with little service records from last owner is a no bueno

 

You need to use a hub puller on it. A claw type pulley puller won't work.

 

First, remove the crank bolt with a 5/8" socket, then thread it back in about halfway. Install the puller as shown in the picture above, making sure the center bolt will align straight into the crank. Tighten the center bolt and draw the hub out. Once the hub hits the bolt head, you'll need to remove the puller and the crank bolt, and replace it with the longer 3" bolt you bought, to finish the process. Use anti-seize on the crank bolts as you use them.

i will try some more, this thing is killing me, i have all the right tools but i am hoping that at 130k miles these things didn't decide to bind together

 

Mines fuggin stuck as well. Time to heat it.

 

i have defeated it! yes! i can see the exodus of the stock cam shaft soon!

 

I pulled my cam off with mine still on there I just need to get it off so I can get the Timing Chain and the the cover gasket to seal back up. How did u end up getting urs off?

 

i went to checker and rented a hub removal tool. i got the screw that was in the hub and only threaded it in maybe 3 or 4 threads, then the hub reomval tool on top and screwed it off. i got my front cover off, but ripped my oil pan gasket in the front. damn it. i have another oil pan gasket, but i really do not want to drop the oil pan, i might try to ghetto fab something, and i think i am saving pulling the cam out for tomorrow. i tried taking my valve springs off, but then realized i didn't have directions or have a clue, so i think i'll wait until tomorrow when my friend gives me a hand.
