Re: Don’t Laugh, cam nut removal
I just raced out to the workshop to see if mine was still there. I thought you may have stollen it. It looks just like that.

Re: Don’t Laugh, cam nut removal
I've had no problem removing the original cam nut with a cold chisel as others have done in the past . I always replace the original cam nut with a new hex nut .

Re: Don’t Laugh, cam nut removal
Agh! It's using a chisel or punch that gets them boogered up so you can't use a proper tool, like you made David, to remove them. The right tool for the right job. I learned that I can still do a backward somersault when I was yanking on the breaker bar to remove a stubborn cam nut and it suddenly came loose.

Re: Don’t Laugh, cam nut removal
With engine removed and on a stand it’s Hard to crowd it enough to get any real leverage. I finally took camshaft gear and all out and clamped gear in vise with shaft supported on sandbags and used ugly tool with the air wrench to get it loose.

Re: Don’t Laugh, cam nut removal
Using the right tool is all fine and good when one is at home in the shop, but when one is on the side of the road or some other out of the way place "ya use what ya got" AKA known as improvising.

Re: Don’t Laugh, cam nut removal
I actually removed mine with a hammer and punch recently. Of course the already buggered up nut was even MORE buggered up afterwards.
Resolve me - buy a new nut AND buy the wrench from the supplier. So new nut and wrench comes in the same package. Trying the wrench on the nut IT DOESN'T FIT. Only a minor interference and a few minutes with a hand file made it work. But wouldn't you think SOMEONE would have done a "proof test" to be sure the new wrench works on a new nut? ESPECIALLY if they are shipped in the same package? Joe K
