Timing chain removal?

[marlyman]

How to? I mean I got all my pullys and oil pan timing chain cover off - I got an 88lx that had a slight knock from main bearing or rod bearings so I took it out flippd it upside down an found some pretty copper / warn main bearings so Ima go ahead and buy a new crank that comes with main an rod bearings SO..i need to take my crank out and my only issue really is taking the timingchain off ...do i need to use a harmonicB / steering wheel puller tool? or ...? I appreciate the input

if you've gotten all the way to the timing chain all you need to remove the 1 bolt holding the cam timing gear and pull it straight off

Yes, you need to use harmonic balancer puller to remove the balancer and then just take the bolt off the cam and it should pretty near fall apart then.....

you might need to take a screw driver and wiggle / pry on it lightly
