Andy – Ordinarily the cam gear will slide right off (it’s held only by the nut on the end of the camshaft).

However if the both the crankshaft and camshafts are stuck it will not slide off on account of the mating helical gear teeth (the cam gear must be able to rotate slightly as it slides off over the crankshaft gear). So before you get too aggressive see if there’s any backlash on the cam gear. If not you’ll need to unstuck either the camshaft or crankshaft before you can remove the cam gear.

If you find the camshaft is NOT stuck, a 3 jaw puller might do the trick. Can also try gently heating the cam gear hub while applying pressure with the puller.

Be careful however and don’t apply excessive force with the puller! The cam gear is cast iron (brittle) and the web between the cam gear hub and rim is not very thick.
