It feels like the O-ring has a good grip on the engine block, because I can put a pry bar on the flange and move it a tiny bit, but it goes right back to where it came from. Won't budge a bit. I've been thinking of cobbling together something that might make it possible to put a standard three-arm puller on it, but also worry about putting pressure on the timing cover.
I found one thread elsewhere on the 'net where the guy took a drill to it and cut it up; I really don't want to do that. Any other thoughts? | More suggestions... __________________
