[Healeys] Timing gear removal, again

[Stephen Hutchings]

Thanks for the suggestions on removing the timing gears, but I'm not there yet.
As I said in my last post, I've got the cam gear moving with a two 
legged puler that fits the two holes in the gear nicely. The trouble 
is the crank gear. I could maybe adapt a puller for this job (there 
is very little room behind the gear for puller hooks), but I'm very 
concerned at the amount of force that would be applied against the 
chain - I'm thinking that the only way I can get a nice positive, 
even grip on the gear is to remove the chain first- any thoughts 
about that?
The chain will only have about 20,000 miles on it, so I don't want to ruin it.
