I can't seem to get a grip on the oil pump drive gear pin. Is there a trick?

Hi,
after removing the clip you can get the pump gear out.
Then unscrew the 4 bolts to get the whole pump out,
you can't get the shaft out otherwise. The pins can be
driven out from the "flat" side with a drift.
As the shaft doesn't drive other things (like ignition on
the 750s) the position of the drive gear at reassembling
doesn't matter.

Thanks Ernesto - I guess my question is not specific enough.
The pin I'm referring to is the one pressed onto the crankshaft just left of the outer left main bearing. It keeps the oil pump driving gear locked to the crankshaft.

Perhaps use a heat gun to warm up crankbeauchemin said:
They are sometimes a right bastard to remove, heat sometimes does the trick, usually not, though. Then you need to resort to one of these... you will then require a new pin.
Another more elegant method is to drill and tap the pin and push it out with the tap, only advisable if the crank is out of the case.

My mind is still boggling as to what an oil pimp is ???
I'm guessing he provides pre-lubricated "escorts"

Hi Chris
I couldn't get it out, so just left it in the crankshaft with a note to Mongoose Machining that if they damaged the pin dealing with it not to worry I would just install a new one when I got the crank back. They didn't seem to have any issue dealing with it, didn't even damage it.
I would suggest you just leave it for Mongoose to deal with while they are replacing the bearing's and rods.
