Evening, i am in the precess of striping my DH lump out of my van and transferring all the parts on to my DJ but i cant get the dizzy drifshaft out of the block, I have tried pulling, twisting and turning (sometimes a combination of all 3 ) has anyone got any ideas of how to get it out????


thanks in advance
Glynn

Plusgas and leave overnight then hit slightly sideways with hammer from all directions then pull- if not I have a spare one in case u get stuck! T

Cheers,How do I knock it in all directions, I can get it halfway up the sleeve and it jams, like if it's stuck on the last bit of the meshed gears, will let you know if I need your spare one

you need to rotate it as it comes out only 15'

do you have a drive in the dj? or was that a silly question.

Good thing someone knows the truth, mr Aiden.

15' past No1 at TDC?

just about 15' rotationally, the gear is a helical cut so it won't come straight up it needs to turn, don't ask me which way, but if you look at the procedure in haynes or bentley for fitting it.......removal is the opposite

Cheers dude, spent an hour earlier fiddling with and gave up before the hammer got involved LOL

Took my engine to airspeed this afternoon after I tried again this morning and failed, they got there special tool on and gave it a good tug and a twist and popped out, thanks for all the help
