Ok, I've got the motor apart but I need to pull the oil pump drive gear off the crank so I can get the new crank seal on. Once it's off, how do I put it back on. Thanks for the help.
 

I don't see anything in the service manual I have for how to remove it. They conveniently show it off but have a c-clip there. I bought a new clip but I have no idea where it goes or how to get the old one off.
 
They are a press fit and the easyest way to get them off is with a 2 piece bearing puller that pinches in behind the gear. Then use a regular damper type or flywheel puller that bolts into the bearing puller and pull it off like you would a flywheel. To put it back on just heat it on a hot plate to about 400* and it will drop right on.

Good Luck, opsled
