I was taking my cam gears out before the whole motor goes to the shop to get rebuilt but the allen bolts seem to be seized. Anybody have this issue before and how do you get them loose? First off I can't even remember if they are normal thread or reverse thread. Any help would be great. I tried PB Blaster already and they still are stuck.

 

they are regular thread. use an allen key and they should come right out.

BUT you don't even need to loosen those allen bolts in order to remove the cam gears... just the center bolt!

 

Thanks, I have them off the car so I can't seem to get any torque on them. They are stuck like a ****. I have tried PB Blaster already and no good. I will try sticking them in a vise and maybe try an impact wrench. I can't believe the screws are stuck!

 

I let the PB Blaster sit longer then put the cam gears in the vice, allen key in and I was able to get the bolts loose, after many years of use the gears still look good except some pitting in the face but good enough to reuse.
