u will have a bolt that holds on the top gear unscrew that .. just use a long screw driver or pry bar and wedge it in between the motor and the gear set and give it a good smack with your hammer ,hand, or another tool ... just make sure your engine is at TDC before puting on the new one , also u might want to use preassubley lube on the gears i do just becuase i am Ocd .. lol we will be waiting gl.. !

i was first confused about it because that it didnt have a timing chain it was just two meshed gears and when i took the cover off and seen the gear there is no bolt it looks like it is just pressed on to the cam shaft and i dont want to hurt the the cam shaft (i think that is what it is connected to}
