all the nuts are off and the main shaft nut on the gear side is also off and it won't budge!Shouold i be taking the hammer to it.

 

Did you pop off the gear with a puller???

 

I was hoping that i didn't have to do that. But that will be my next step.

 

Yep, you'll need to put a gear puller on there & pop the gear off the shaft.

 

thanks for the tip. it worked great! the pump is out and i noticed a key way on the shaft of the pump, but nothing on the gear. How am i going to line up the pump so it's in proper timing? The engine is at tdc and timing pin is in. Does the new pump come with it already at tdc? What your view on this?

 

yes, there is a slot for a keyway, but it doesn't have one. On the side of the pump is a place where you remove the plug to access the timing pin. Your replacement pump should be pinned at the correct timing, you just install the new pump, lightly tighten the gear onto the shaft, then remove the pump pin before torqueing the nut to 160 ft. lbs

 

Nice to see this guy ^^^ on the site I suggest we pick his brain.
