Anyone know the trick involved in separating the drive gear from the pump shaft? I didn't see an access cover on the timing gear front cover so I thought maybe the pump was simply a splined shaft. Parts book shows gear held on with a nut(so much for it being that easy). Also shows a plug of some sort threaded into timing cover where it might line up with said nut. Is there maybe some special tool that threads into this hole and provides a trick to pop the gear loose once the nut is backed off?
