I have a 2002 Lancer ES with the 2.0 liter. The head gasket is blown and I'm trying to get the head off. I'm following the Chilton manual (it's a POS) and have everything ready except for getting the cam sprocket removed. The timing belt is new so I'm not planning on replacing it. Chilton's says to move to TDC and then remove the sprocket. Bolt on the sprocket aint budging. Any suggestiions?

 

Hi Chris, When you say sprocket do you mean the harmonic balancer pulley ??? Pic's would work well here bud.

 

Hey guys! I am having the same problem with the retaining bolt for the camshaft timing sprocket. Suggestions?
