Aaron,
Yes, I am laughing. A lot too, but I shouldn't be. I almost pulled the
same trick with my puller. Well, if its any consolation, I'm preparing to
pull my own tranny after the Dak comes back from the paint shop. This
should prove interesting.
Sorry for laughing, but you just made my day. Up to this point, my day has
been in the toilet. Thank goodness tomorrow is the last Monday of this
week!
Catch you later,
Rich

Subject: RE: DML: Timing Chain replacement help? attn:Aaron
Rich,
It's not funny.....I don't know why you're laughing. :) This is what
happened: I get the timing chain cover off and I'm ready to take the crank
and cam sprockets off. I remove the crank bolt. Next I grab my 3-jaw
puller and procede to remove the crank sprocket. Well, you know the center
pin in the puller that pushes against a surface to remove a gear/sprocket?
That was centered where the crank bolt used to be, but I thought it was
resting on the outside edges of the hole. It wasn't. It ended up messing
up the first couple of threads in the crank.
