22. Camshaft Removal

Camshaft Removal





1. Remove the camshaft retainer bolts and retainer.






2. Remove the engine camshaft.

Notice:
All camshaft journals are the same diameter, so care must be used in removing or installing the camshaft to avoid damage to the camshaft bearings.

1. Install the three 5/16-18 x 4.0 inch bolts into the engine camshaft front bolt holes.
2. Using the bolts as a handle, carefully rotate and pull the engine camshaft out of the camshaft bearings.
3. Remove the bolts from the front of the engine camshaft.
