This is a steel gear that goes on the crank to turn the cam. To get the gear off the crank, use a puller that is designed specifically for this purpose. Never use a hammer and a punch. When the gear is removed with a punch, it distorts the teeth. This causes it to bind the cam gear. If you have the gear off the crank, look for punch marks on the beveled side before you put it back on. Note: The gear is installed with heat. Use a propane torch to heat the gear (without turning it blue). Use a big pair of channel locks pick it up and install. If you do it right, it should slide right on. If it only goes half way, pull it back off with the correct puller and try again. The bevel side always goes toward the rods. Note: Do not forget the main bearing behind the gear.
