sorry guys....I got a 92 ssrx turbo diesel.........I've been on the aussie site and it dosn't tell me how to get cog off. Timing belt is off so i want to replace crankshaft seal at the same time. nifty nev told me to use self tappers to get old seal off but how do i get to the seal...thanks guys in anticipation of your expertise in the mad land of surfdom.

Once the pulley is removed, the belt sprocket just pulls off the shaft. The shaft is keyed with a woodruff key in a slot so it may be stuck, in which case gentle levering against the engine with a large screwdriver or similar, around the circumfrence of the sprocket to ease it off. Maybe give it a good soaking with WD40 first.

Yeah, the sprocket should just pull off. A bit of levering or a gentle tap or two against the side of it with a soft hammer will help. Check the sprocket, key and keyway for any damage when removed.
