The camshaft is heavy. Do NOT attempt to
remove the camshaft without the help of an
assistant or the use of a suitable lifting
device. Failure to heed this warning may
result in severe personal injury and
component damage.
1. Mark the camshaft bearing caps (if not
factory marked or identified), so that they
can be installed in the original bearing
support locations.
2. Remove the remaining fasteners (outboard
set) holding the upper bearing caps in place.
3. Use the camshaft bearing cap removal tool,
85109980, in combination with slide
hammer, 9990013, to remove the upper
bearing caps. The upper bearing caps and
lower supports (saddles) must be kept in
sets and in their respective locations at
assembly.
4. Attach the lifting bar, 85109034, to the
camshaft between the lobes and carefully
remove the camshaft from the cylinder head.

pin.
6. Remove the bearing inserts from the
camshaft lower bearing supports (saddles)
and the upper bearing caps. Inspect the
