what motor? l series diesel? if so you need a puller. the gear doesn't pop off like the main pulley.

puller + heat + beer + more time + more heat then eventually grinder.

thats what mine took and it was at a mechanics for the job, that pully was the reason i didnt do it myself.

They are renowned for being pricks to get off, some come off easy others are just horrid.

pity you need to replace the seal behind it so it has to come off every 100,000k's.

p.s if you do have to cut it off - they dont make them aftermarket so you have to go toyota direct $90-130 from memory.
