anyone ever tried replacing the cam shaft?

i cheated and bought a camshaft that was in a cam shaft assembly last time :oops:

this time round id like to do it all without one step forward, twenty back, taking the engine to bits!

is it in the haynes?

any advice?

cheers all.

quite easy, just un bolt the pulley then theres a small plate thing at the dizzy end wi 2 allen studs in it, take these out, remove the plate and slide the cam out. (easiest to unbolt the pully first wi t timin belt still on etc before removin the cam housing)
