Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 165 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 165 | Hello,  Does anyone know if you can replace the timing gear on the front of the crankshaft, without pulling the crank,or should it be pulled and replaced at a machine shop?  Please advise. Thank You Kevin

I'm relatively sure you can replace the crank gear without pulling the crank. I guess the problem is that those two gears should be replaced as a pair, and the cam gear is the bugger. Pulling the cam is the only option there.

If you have a aluminum camshaft gear or are replacing a fiber gear with a aluminum gear, I would replace both gears. And yes the crank gear can be replaced without removing the crank.

Thanks Guys
