Is this possible on a scrap engine without buying sprocket holding tool(s)?

probably not as its the puller as well although you could use a hammer and drift as long as u leave the nut on loose so as not to damage the thread

I did it on my scrapper, no problem at all with no special tools.

Be careful tightening the bolts when refitting as the aluminium is really soft.

Thanks Lads. Being as I'm going to need that puller tool to refit a pump AND I intend to do the chains etc at some point...is there a cheapo kit that has all the bits in to do everything? ie- pump sprocket holder and pusher, timing pin and the camshaft holding thingy? I think I've found one on ebay for £40 odd and seeing that the holding tool alone is well over half that then it makes sense to go for the complete kit, if they are indeed only £40 odd.
Ebay sellers descriptions are not clear to me which one I should get or avoid. Anybody got one who's happy to recommend to purchase?
I've already got the injector socket with the window and the split ring doo dahh for the injector pipes.

Don't about the specific tool you mention but, I've found with special tools in general not to go for the cheapest,
middle of the range is better unless, you are using it regularly then only top of the range will do.

I only intend using it once then moving it on really.
I'm gonna end up with lots of specialist tools that I'm never going to use again since I've got my rangey. Might do a wanted ad and see if anyone has a kit they want rid of.

I got a cheap kit off eBay that Wammers recommended on here. There's not a lot to go wrong with it! Used many times and no issues. It was years ago though so the links won't be current. It is the full kit for the M51 engine.

Looks like it.
If you have the cam out you need a shim when putting it back on higher mileage chains.

if your just doing the chains and pump on a p38 you just need the sprocket holding tool and the cam timing tool and flywheel TDC lock pin out of that kit but you will also need a dial gague and timing kit for the VE pump
