[clubsport_replica]

hey guys i been trying for the last two hours to get the dizzy out of my vq caprice, from what i can it looks like the top of the shaft is nearly out (its lifted a few cm's) but it aint budging at all no matter what i do i used various chizels to pry it up but now no matter what i do it aint lifting anymore.

any ideas.

also top of the dizzy is broken as it spins with out turning the dizzy shaft i cannont move the shaft at all

Hahahaha... oh wow. I love dizzies. I had so much fun trying to get mine out...







I find the best thing to do is get a chisel under the bottom lip of the dizzy and hammer down on it with something. But it seems like you've already tried that.

I can only suggest you try rotating the crank slightly side to side (using a breaker and a large socket) to see if you can shake it loose that way

ha, i knew morton would be drawn to this thread

does the dizzy housing spin, is it free? if not, loctite make this great product thats great at loosening stuff. called "freeze" or something along those lines i think

haha nice pics lol, got it off now, yeah i had done the hanner n chizel, ended up taking off the inlet manifold and using some monkey grips wrench to actaully sping the dizzy, took a while for it to spin freely then one more tap and it was out, but broken lol.....

wat a headache
