concluding that the IPD rental tool is more trouble than it's worth (am I interpreting that right?

The tool I used was not like the one from IPD. It was the type that levered under the cam against the edge of the follower. Sometimes the shim is difficult to remove from the follower; seems the oil between the shim and follower creates a suction. I don't know if the IPD tool is easier or not.

With the timing belt removed (remember I try to do my adjustments when I am changing the timing belt) it is rather simple to remove the cam. Although on the 7/900 series with the distributor on the cam you probably need to remove the cap and rotor to make it a bit easier.
