Hello my jag family,i am replacing my timing chain and all hardware. I've removed everything up to the crankshaft pulley ive manage to removed the pulley bolt and is stuck on the pulley. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

 

Its a press on piece on a key, so it just doesn't pull off. You'll need a puller, probably get a loaner from Autozone or O'reilly's. But once it starts, it comes rather smoothly. You'll need to lock your crank into position and cams so as not to loose time. Do a review of 'tensioner replacement' or 'timing chain replacement'. There's a detail in here using the Site Search... JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource ...from black onyx. Or do a search on site here, there are 10's of threads on this procedure.

 

Here it is again.

One thing a user noted a few weeks back was that if you get the pulley and cone to move just a little bit, you may be able to tap the pulley back towards the engine and pop it loose.

 

That IS the way it is supposed to be released/removed!!!!! It is all in TSB 303-10.

"move the damper and collar 1 to 2 mm forward on the crankshaft."

"Remove the tool from the damper and then pull the damper forward and off the crankshaft: if necessary, lightly strike the damper to loosen it."

Thanks Bob- I didn't know that for the first 8 times... Now I know and will do it right the next time.
