Crankshaft sprocket KV6

vitesse · 1st June 2022, 08:48

Asking on behalf of a Swedish owner who has discovered that the small locating peg (dimple) on the KV6 crankshaft sprocket has ground down/disappeared making precis location of the crankshaft pulley impossible.
Question how is the crankshaft sprocket fixed to the crankshaft, is it keyed to the shaft or a press fit? Are the two screw holes for some kind of puller?

Thanks in advance

It is just pushed onto the crankshaft over a key and with the pulley removed it should just slide off, bolt holes are there if you need to use a puller

Thank you, much as we suspected but good to get confirmation.

Keep well
