Camshaft Gear Removal

Camshaft Gear Removal

1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
2. Loosen the rocker arm adjusting screws.
3. Remove the camshaft holders and camshafts. To prevent damaging the camshafts, loosen the camshaft holder bolts in sequence two turns at a time, in a crisscross pattern.
4. Hold the camshaft with an open-end wrench, then loosen the camshaft gear mounting nut.





5. Remove the camshaft gear.

NOTE: The exhaust camshaft gear has a groove (A) in the face. The intake camshaft gear does not have a groove.
