belt the cam with a hammer.

Hit each end in turn, when it shifts a bit, put wd-40 on it then tap it back the other way and repeat. Should free off to turn and slide out.

used a bolt to go inside the threads of the cam shaft tightened it all the way and tried to turn the cam over tha way but managed to brake the threaded hole this time . the cam did not move a mm.

Like my torsion bar was, but i bet Chris could shift that too, i'd gladly give him a fiver to watch him try...

if only. youre about as far away from me as you could be.

Forum Moderator Joined: 02 Mar 2004 Posts: 19978

I could be in China, thats further away.

Thing is a torsion bar doesn't move. A camshaft rotates its whole life so I woudl say its easier to free off something that spins than something that slides into place back in 92!

Again, a fair point; I shall therefore amend my statement once more.

I am technically not that far from me, I know because I am sitting here with myself.

I am technically not that far from you. A mere few hundred miles is nothing.
