On the XF there was no bolt right? Just an interference fit. Might have to use a puller kit. On my XE the damn thing had chewed the keyway out to twice it's original size so getting it off was not a problem :hihi:

Tried to do that recently to get the cam out. Ruined a harmonic balancer puller but the pulley stayed on- so i got the angle grinder out and cut the timing cover.
Good luck with it though

The bastards can be really tight, not just on Falcons. I don't recommend buying expensive pullers because you often end up ruining even the highest quality pullers.

Mate ive done it long ago.You need the 3 prong puller.The centre of the puller needs a point to insert exactly in the middle.Slowly turn it to remove.If it doesnt come off .Get a new one and oxy that sucker!!

use a good puller and keep the docket so when u chew it out you can take it back

i found that torque wrenches come in very handy when it comes to pullers. little tip dont touch the high tensile center bolt after you gave it a good work out, last time i burnt myself. amazing how much energy you produce from simple tension

Damn straight, not a job I'm looking forward to when I go the whole hog and rebuild the damned thing. Glad to hear you got it off though, nothing more frustrating than having some little thing like that get in the way of getting the job done.
