Gs1000 oil pump gear

[AndyD]

Hi
Stripped down engine on my Gs1000 sport 1979 and have one odd problem
Got the circlip off the oil pump shaft but the gear doesn't want to come off
It slides back and forwards a bit but then sits tight on the shaft
Have I missed something?
Didn't want to resort to force if there was still something holding it in place
Cheers
Andy

More than likely a little burr on the end of the shaft. Have a good look and feel around the circlip groove, can't be much to stop it coming off.

Thanks,
That's what it looks like as I can't see anything there to hold it on and it slips forward easily before stopping.
I'll get a bright light on the shaft to check for burrs etc., clean up and then pull harder.
Cheers,
Andy
