    Any advice would be appreciated. I can't seem to remove my timing sprocket on the crankshaft. There is a woodruff key in the crank. I've used a two point puller with the correct Bolts m6x1.0 against the crank bolt with limit movement of the sprocket forward. And I can't seem to pry the woodruff key out first.

    Questions. Do I need to remove the sprocket with the key still in place? Or do I remove the key first some how?

    Picture of the situation. 3.4L 5VZ FE manual. Thanks in advance.
