Abstract: A kit of tooling components for use in facilitating the removal as well as the installation of a crankshaft seal includes a housing assembly which is constructed and arranged for attachment to a crankshaft seal during the removal procedure and for pushing the crankshaft seal into position during the installation procedure. The kit further includes a guide pin which is constructed and arranged for insertion through the crankshaft seal and into one of the crankshaft seal mounting holes in order to establish proper alignment for the crankshaft seal as it is pulled off during the removal procedure and as it is pushed on during the installation procedure. The kit further includes a plurality of self-tapping screws which are used during the removal procedure for attaching the housing assembly to the crankshaft seal.

Abstract: A kit of tooling components for facilitating removal of a gear from a shaft includes a plurality of jaw members that are adapted to fit through blanking holes defined in the gear. The jaw members are further adapted to engage the gear. The kit further includes a set of studs with each of the studs adapted to engage one of the jaw members and a plate adapted to couple to the studs. The kit further includes a jack adapted to engage and fit between the plate and the shaft. Included as a part of this disclosure is a method of removing a camshaft gear by use of the kit of tooling components.

Abstract: A kit for both removal of a camshaft from a cylinder block and for installation of a camshaft into a cylinder block includes a minimum of six unitary, molded plastic camshaft guides, an extraction tool, and a pilot to be attached to a rear face of the camshaft in order to provide additional support. Each camshaft guide has a generally C-shaped body and is constructed and arranged to fit onto a corresponding one of the camshaft lobes. Due to the “beyond center” configuration of each camshaft guide, a significant pulling force is required to remove each guide from its corresponding camshaft lobe. Each guide includes an internally-threaded hole which mates with a threaded end on the extraction tool and the extraction tool is used to manually pull each guide off of its corresponding lobe. The pilot includes a generally cylindrical body and a rod inserted therethrough having a threaded tip at one end and an enlarged head at the opposite end.
