PI Cam swap specific question

Hi.

I am in the process of doing a pi cam swap. What's the best way to pry up on the cam gear ? there is not much to get a bite on?

Why are you prying on the cam gear???

following the guide stickied, it says to pry up on the cam gear to give you enough slack to remove the cam.

Do your new cams not have gears on them already? If they do then you should just be able to take the cam out with no problem. If you don't have a cam gears to go with it I guess that's why they want you to do it. I never had to pry any cams out and I've done 6 swaps total but all with cams that already had cam gears on them

no they do not and i also can not get the front cover off the crank pulley bolt is siezed and i don't want to break it.

Did you get the cams out, cause you shouldnt have had to pry it. It should just pull up with a little tug

use a pulley remover to get the crank pulley off.

 

[GrnGt]

yeah, deffinantly dont want to break that. Hope you have some b-12 or wd-40 handy

You really need an impact gun to remove the crank pulley
