Hey Guys,

I need to take the cam gears off, would you have any tips on doing this? I read the FAQ but do not have the special tool to lock cams in place..

I was thinking to spin the crank until all the marks line up.. Add aditional marks on cam gear/cam shaft for proper location because the gears are adjustable.. Take three bolts off while the belt is on, to preven cam from spinning. Then take belt off, followed by the cam gear...

Does this sound right?

How critical do you think the cam position is since I will be on the same tooth when I put everything back... Just wondering if I can screw it up by being like 1 or 2 degrees out???

Thanks,
