cam wheels

Post by donm »

Anyone have any special tricks to remove the cam wheels when the belt is already removed? I need to get at the seals and can't loosen the nut because the wheel keeps turning.

Never mind. I made a "chain wrench" out of a piece of the old belt. Now on to the next issue.

Don't forget that the intake and exhaust cam wheels are different. Label them upon removal.
