Oil pump intermediate distributor gear

[Fuzzy]

273LA 1965 Formula S engine.
Can the gear on the oil pump intermediate shaft be replaced or is it all one unit?

Thanks in advance.

It might or might not be pinned.

50/50. Normally there pinned.

Press quote, wait, type outside the quote brackets.

Do you need one that can have the gear removed?

I am pretty sure the gear is pressed onto the shaft, pin or not. So you should be able to separate the two with a press.

Just get the whole piece. A new hardened one is not very expensive. I don't know anywhere to get just the gear.

most are sold as shaft and gear assembly,You can buy a bronze gear, or a melonized single gear.But like RRR said get a hardened one with radius drive,and be done.I take the pinned gear and tap for 1/4 20 set screws drill two shallow divits in shaft, so no hole drilled to weaken shaft.Overkill?Maybe.
