[Vwdiesel] Fuel pump sprocket removal

[brian hoeft]

I have special puller and still need a good whack from a deadblow

im particular about the heavier mini-sledge, hammers need to be swung too
fast to get the same results, for my liking. one good whack like you mean it
from a deadblow will do the trick. keep the nut on and do your best to hit
center.
