Has anyone every removed the oil pump drive from the crankshaft. If so, how did you do it ?

A lot of heat looks like the only way to me.

Park a Cobra next to the 2JZ :rofl:

but seriously, heating the crank sound like a bad idea. On the reverse side of the oil pump body, use a hammer and a piece of wood or such and wack it a few times on each side to work it loose.

I did this last year. the pump will not come off without the oil pans off. the gear on the pump sticks below the edge of the oil pan. I pulled the engine and pried it off.
