Podcast: What I Learned at The World's Best Car Show

RallyRabbit R I was wondering if someone could tell me a method for removing the drive gear off the bottom of a distributor. Any ideas? Ithink I could do it, but doing it without damaging it is the problem. #1 · Nov 9, 2002 I was wondering if someone could tell me a method for removing the drive gear off the bottom of a distributor.

(RallyRabbit) Tools: hammer. drift/punch with an OD smaller than the roll pin that secures the gear to the distributor shaft. Large bench vise, or a block of wood w/hole for roll pin to exit thru. Punch the pin out. #3 · Nov 9, 2002 Re: How to remove distributor gear? (lotus7) What he said, make sure you've got good backing, that pin is in there really REALLY tight, you have to hit it VERY hard. #4 · Nov 9, 2002 Re: How to remove distributor gear? (ABA Scirocco) I drilled the pin out. I was bending a centerpunch I was hammering that thing so hard. Wouldn't budge. Once I drilled it, the remains slid right out. IIRC(it was a coupla years ago), it will punch out one way but not the other. IE, it's a wedge fit into the dist shaft. Apparently I was hammering away from the wrong side. Live and learn. #5 · Nov 10, 2002 Re: How to remove distributor gear? (Andrew Stauffer) I broke 2 punches and then took it a machine shop and had them press it out #6 · Nov 10, 2002 Re: How to remove distributor gear? (Nefarious1.8t) I just drilled mine out then put it back together with a roll pin i got from a hardware store #7 · Nov 10, 2002 Re: How to remove distributor gear? (RacerXXX85) I've drilled before. But found that with a solid vise, and nothing smaller than a 3.5 lb. sledge it'll come out. 5 lb. sledges make it easier tho. later, Insert Quotes Post Reply
