Hi all.

Does anyone know the pitch between the 2 extraction holes/threads of the balancer. I want to get a puller but need to ensure it is wide enough so that the 2 long bolts of the puller will fit. Also anything I should look out for once I start the job.

Cheers

Puller:
OEM brand "Timing Gear Puller" stk #25258 worked a treat.

 

Thanks aholbro1 for the info on the puller. I got one on Amazon for $11.27 including shipping

 

Used the bump start method with a pry bar and socket. Nut come loose after 8 bump starts. Now waiting for the puller to arrive.

 

Torque value is important and critical on reassembly as this is no common / basic item . Pulling up AJ16 engine manual . Section 4.11 page 45 ?

 

Gibbon,
I recommend you go ahead and put one of these on order:
for tightening - unless you have the special Jaguar tools specified in the engine manual. Also, it's an excellent time to renew your drive belts; because you'll need to cut your old one and wrap it 'round the pully several times before putting the chain wrench on it.

Make sure you get a 24" chain wrench - smaller won't cut it.
