I am looking for a little help with the removal of the fuel injection timing device SHAFT.(1980 240D manual) The Haynes manual says "push the shaft out through the rear of the housing" It wont Go, and I am a little reluctant to beat on it. The "helical" gear for driving the oil pump is still in place and I see no info for removing that. Could that be part of the problem? Needless to say I am a novice "wrench" but things have gone ok so far as I am really taking my time and hopefully will be able to get it all back together. Everything is apart except for removing this shaft which has me stumped so any help from you guys would be much appreciated. BTW I am doing an over haul, that is if they dont tell me that the 2 damaged rod journels are toasted beyond repair.
