I ordered and received my crank spacer and am wanting to install it but i need to take out the little pins on the snout of the crank. Anyone got any experience removing these bastards?

yes the keys correspond with the groove on the dampener and crankshaft timing cog. It keeps everything lined up If you f those up you can buy those at most part stores or machine shops. Sold by grove widthComment
