Is there anything i should know about removing the cam pulleys on a pinto EFi engine, i am borrowing a gear puller from work over the weekend, so i don't want to get stuck half way through the job

Is it worth putting some WD40 on all the gears tonight to let the soak in?

Mine came off with a light tap from behind using a block of wood - certainly didn't need a puller. It's not an interference fit, so it should be easy to remove. As mentioned don't lose and of the bits.

The ONLY pulley on a pinto that is EVER tight is the bottom pulley on a pinto Injection. For that one only, you will need a puller. (easily identified because it has a double V for twin drive belts.)
