Any way to remove cam sprocket w/o turning the shaft?
got her apart again....
fixin the cam seal leak
i dont wanna F* up my timing or go crazy w/ it again , but is there anyway to maybe jam the sprocket to take the bolt out?
no i dont have air tools, that would be the obvious answer i suppose
TIA

A comment....

Just use markers. When you are ready to tighten the cam sprocket, turn the crank until the marker
on your cam sprocket matches with the mark you made in the cam shaft and maybe one on the bolt and washer.

.....please view........
Thanks for the effort. I did what i said and had someone else loosen the sprocket bolt and she ..came right off
i installed the new seal (tapped it in w/ a wood block and hammer)
then cranked it 2x to check the timing.
possible problem:
about halfway into the crank i "hit a wall" and couldnt go any further.
So i backed off and my NEIGHBOR~! cranks it when i wasnt looking and i hear a "CRACK!" but it moves.... and moves freely after that....
maybe it was just at the end of the compression cycle....
so i cranked it after that and it sounded ok (w/ nothing connected)
Im guessing the ratchet made the sound when it skips a cog ....
theres no way anything could have went wrong when cranking by hand right?

If you cranked it one time and it was fine, it would have remained fine.
The 'wall' is compression, it's normal, and good. You probably heard the ratchet, or something else, when the crank went past TDC on whichever pistons were under compression.

Don't get too worried, just check to make sure everything is on tdc(cam, crank, etc). Crank it over 2 revolutions by hand after you have finished everthing. Its better to make sure then be sorry.
