It wasn't too bad, just time consuming. Sometimes it would be helpful to be double jointed and/or a bit smaller than 6' 275lbs. My timing pin was a bit stiff but after taking it out and removing the o-ring it worked smoothly. Is it necessary to replace the star clip or will the o-ring hold it in sufficiently? I figure if the o-ring prevents it from vibrating in against the gear it should prevent it from falling out too. Once the timing pin in the gear case was aligned the pump pin lined up perfectly too.
The plan is to take it to a local shop for rebuilding on Monday. Since I am not intending on doing any extreme bombing I am just going for a plain rebuild and adding a plate and 3K GSK later as I can afford it. It is more important to me at this time to at least get it on the road.
Hopefully the install will be as uneventful as the removal.
