How do you install a Cam
I'm trying to take the cam gear out, but as we all know its torqued down.
How do you guys open your cam gear, I tried to stick a flat head in the camshaft, and than turn the nut to open the cam gear, it won't move.
any sugestions

The head is out of the car and laying on the ground.

Put something through one of the holes in the cam gear to stop it from turning, so that whatever you put through hits the head and it won't move. Then instead of turning the ratchet, just give really hard taps to it to break it loose.
HTH??

The cam which is on there is solid, no holes in it.

Re: (EG2 SiR)
What if you use a belt and strap it around the cam gear really tight? A belt that holds your pants up. Same principle as that rubber Craftsman wrench. Sounds crazy but it should work.

When I did not have an impact gun I did something similar to this idea. I was changing the timing belt, so I cut the old one in half.... Wrapped it around the cam gear, covered the cam with a couple towels, then drove a tire ofer the end of the timing belt... it held that isht tight and I was able to get the bolt off! DIY man!!! Macguyver style!

he might need an aircompressor along with the 99 dollar impact gun set. not to mention impact sockets. (my next goal...mMmm)
