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

    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.

    Lock something through the sprocket holes to stop it turning.
