In preparation for a long trip, I am rebuilding the oil pump on a '50 Champion (car) engine.
I have purchased the rebuild kit (from SI). In reading the service manual the (driven) pump gear requires a special tool, specifically a # J2959.
I tried removing the same gear from a junk Champion engine I have and it did not go well. It is apparent I need the tool or know a trick for getting the gear off. It looks to be a keyed shaft and presummably it is an "interference fit".
Is there a way to remove the gear without the tool?
If the tool is required, where do I borrow, rent, or purchase it?
