Maybe a good idea, but in this particular instance, a removal tool that you describe would not have worked due to the fact that the seal appeared to be glued in. Did you take a look at his other posts concerning the removal process? I was amazed that he was able to endure. I would have had a wrenched up, "tied up into knots" feeling in the pit of my stomach if I would have encountered what he did in trying to remove that cam seal, and thus would not have had the energy to go forward with it...That eerie feeling that goes along with lack of any confidence at all, and utter hopelessness would have had me towing my car to the dealer, and thanking them for helping me out of my dilemma, no matter how long it took them or how much it cost me. I hate that and always regret doing it later, especially knowing that they at the dealer are laughing at me on my account (all the way to the bank too) for trying to be a DIYers. To read a write up like this one give one the needed confidence to withstand the temptation of giving in to the dealer. Anyway, sorry for the essay....I think you get my drift and how much I truly appreciate the pioneering spirit and accomplishments of a fellow Bricker!
