Message	Hello all, I'm trying to replace the timing belt on my tt. The motor is out of the car at this moment making things a bit easier. It was a PITA to remove the crankshaft gear, I had purchased a new oil pump so, to remove the gear I had to destroy the current oil pump casing(hammered the gear out with a pry bar). Anyways, I'm trying to put the crankshaft gear back on the crank but it does not go back in. I have tried to tap it, grease it but nothing. Any tips? I don't want to damage the crankshaft or the gear.
