Removing cam

[Ash]

im trying to remove my cam from the cam case, do i need a special tool? PS. lost my haynes:thumb:

[Ernie]

you need a special tool or remove the cam houseing which would need to have the head gasket done afterwords.

[Stuart]

dont forget to undo the lock plate in the dizzy end

engine is in pieces anyway. looks like i need a 19mm spanner but all of mine are for fat.

Done

[Stuart]

then pull the bitch out (aslong as the fuel pump is out too)

[Adam]

Aye, remove the sprocket then tap the mofo out towards the dizzy.

[Ash]

that be where i is going wrong. the sprocket is still attached to the cam and im trying to pull it out the sprocket way. I can't get the sproket undone as all my tool that might do the job are to fat to fit between the lobes.

[Adam]

Lock something through the sprocket holes to stop it turning.

[Ash]

cheers, being really slow today. :wall:

[Stuart]

or put a spanner on the hex that most cams have....

[Ash]

yeh that was the problem, all my spanners where to wide to fit on one of the hex' they fouled on a lobe.

[Stuart]

thats a sign to buy more tools :) i love signs like that lol

[Ash]

lol i need to buy a new tool box first, the one i got don't fit in :(
