stuck gear on vp44

[Beemanstwistin6]

im replacing vp44 on a 99. Problem is the gear wont separate from the pump shaft. ive tryed two different pullers and bent and broke the grade8 bolts that thread in the gear and tryed heatin the gear, left the puller on there over night. still no luck! everyone ive done before pops right off??? anyone else ran in to this problem?

Try that and focus it on the shaft. Might even just put the puller on as tight as you can get it without breaking the bolts, and let it set over night.

He is replacing the VP anyway...

Ive hint the end of the puller with a hammer. ive crank down on the puller so much it has broke the bolts that thread in the gear

Hate to say this one, but are you sure you got the bolt out that is closest to the engine that you need about 6inches of extension and a swivel for?

i left it on there for the weekend.

Would that hold the gear on the the pump? Your referring to the bolt that holds the pump on to the engine correct?

 

[Beemanstwistin6]

yeah the pump is loose. its the gear wont pop loose from the pump shaft

Yes that is the one I speak of. Im Having a brain fart at the moment. Op, is this yOur first time removing the vp?

 

[Beemanstwistin6]

maybe i can run the center bolt on the puller in with a impact gun and the vibration will help???

 

[Beemanstwistin6]

no ive done p pumps and vp44 before

 

[oldblue116]

Hmm I doubt it will work. Can you see anything out of the ordinary

 

[Beemanstwistin6]

from what i can see it looks fine. i can see the end of the key way and looks good

 

[LReiff]

Did you first remove the gear retainer nut?

 

[Beemanstwistin6]

yeah lol

Exactly.

Will they still consider that a "good" core if you phuck up the threads ? I was told some places won't take it if you do.

Put a nut on the shaft and hit the nut.
