What is it?
Can I remove it by undoing the nut in its centre?
If I do so will this move my cams or anything else out of position?
I'm really stuck and cant get the car back together as I am scared of messing this bit up.
Once I lock the cams I will be able to release the belt and VVT pulley so I can put the new pulley on.
Thanks

you have to take that off too , it is the toothed wheel that generates pulses . behind is the off set slot which you put the cam locking tool into BUT you also need to get the plastic cap out of the back of the exhaust cam too , the tool fits into BOTH camshafts to lock them in the correct position . You will need a new plastic cap too as they are destroyed removing them .
