We have a 1997 5.9 cummings engine the timing housing has broken and we need to know how to remove and install the cam shaft pulley. Do you have to pull the camshaft out or can you pull the pulley off to get the cover off. Thanks.
I usually get the replacement cover pin back in and locked down. Then I JB weld the cover if it's just a piece broke out. If the gear is good leave it be.

I am not sure about your 97's, but the 5.9's in my 94's have a bolt on cam gear. Makes it very nice to change the cover without heating the gear or pulling the shaft.
going to get an oven installed in the shop this week and heat it and see what that does. Here is the link to the commings tool http://www.monacotool.com/cgi-bin/k9bytes.pl?command=showdetail&itemid=20144 They make a tool for removal and a install tool. Don't know how the install tool will work. maybe it is for when you have the cam out? I don't know.. Thanks for your help Loose nut
We always use a large household deep fryer and fill it with tractor hydraulic fluid heat it until the oil smokes drop your gear in (tied to a wire) heat til it smokes again be ready with welding gloves pull and stick it on. Works good for bearings as well.
Correct Thomasbus24! dowel rods and rubber bands to hold up the lifters and remove the cam and gear assy. Those cam gears are a booger to get on and off, much easier to pull it as an assembly.
