how in the world do you get anything behind the bottom gear to get it pulled off? this is a model B engine

A big gear puller. And it takes a lot, comes off hard. Serious heat helps.

Re: timeing gears
 

yes sure good idea. there is no room behind gear to get anything behind it 1/4" from gear to block

Re: timeing gears
 

You need the proper tool :D

Re: timeing gears
 

KR Wilson made a nice tool just for this. Some folks have fabricated their own similar versions of this tool. This link has one on page 7 of the 1936 KRW tool catalog.

Re: timeing gears
 

well I should have known there was a proper tool for this job


I see a tag on your tool bob, is it for sale?

Re: timeing gears
 

Not for sale. I got it on Epay as it said for Model A but it's to
small but if fits my 2N Ford tractor.

Re: timeing gears
 

A heavy 3 flat fingered puller works just fine.
Be glad you're not doing this with engine in vehicle.

Re: timeing gears
 

As Patrick says. I have drilled and tapped that gear on my race engine, just in case.

Re: timeing gears
 

I have an old Proto gear puller set, similar to the picture, I suspect it would work, but never tried it.

Re: timeing gears
 

now that's a great idea

well if you look at the pic the top 3 cogs in the pic are rusty and pitted. I haven't tried polishing them yet to see how it will look after.

rotorwrench, Thank you for using the fordtoolcollector website

Re: timeing gears
 

Beater, that's an original type of gear, steel, not cast iron, that's a good thing.

Re: timeing gears
 

if it will polish up ill leave it. if now ill be looking for a replacement.

so that brings me to who makes a cood replacement set of gears? aluminum cam gear maybe

Re: timeing gears
 

That is a good video. How was the old lower rope seal removed and the new one installed with the crank in place? Can they just be pushed into position? I recall them having some "crush" when I reassembled the motor ~10 years ago.

Re: timeing gears
 

I would replace that aluminum hub centered Cloyes timing gear as if the fiber gear is not loose now it will be.
Also as posted above by someone do NOT put heat on your crank gear unless you want to do you babbit as well.
Bad advise from some posting so beware.
As was noted the Kr wilson puller for replacing the heat when the crank is in is the best . Also the 6306 installer makes it a piece of cake to install .
Experience, the right tool for the job, and being careful is key.
If the crank is out you can use a common puller with the crank nut used as your center.

Also , remove you valve cover and clean out the valve chamber and check rod and mains for integrity and clearance including end thrust.
Otherwise you may be wasting time and money .....
