  • Aspire Crankshaft Sprocket Removal

    I'm trying to replace the front crank seal on my aqua car.
    It has an Aspire engine in it.
    The high nose crank is a different setup from what I'm used to and I'm stuck on the removal. There appears to be a large plate covering the timing belt that ie part of the sprocket. (I'm not talking about the big pulley spacer)
    I've already removed the sprocket bolt but I can't the sprocket to come off. It wiggles a bit but will jot budge fromthe crank.

    How do I get the timing belt off and how do I get the sprocket off?

    I'm on mobile right now and can't figure out how to upload a picture.

    Ok.
    Here's a picture.
    There is a large disc on the crank sprocket that was held on by the bolt. I can not get that thing to come off.
    Am I missing something?

      Looks like you'll need a puller to get it off!!

        I figured it out.
        The plate/disc is supposed to slide right off.
        Mine had some rusty grimey crap that was fighting me.
        I used a slide hammer type setup to get it off.

        All is good. I wasn't familiar with how these cranks were setup and thought I wasn't doing something right.

          I never remove the pulley from that back part. Those 4 bolts just stay on, its a waste of time trying to get those on and off, imo.
