- Remove the camshaft retainer bolts (204) and retainer (203).
- Remove the camshaft.
- Install the camshaft sprocket bolt into the camshaft front bolt hole.
- Using the bolt as a handle, carefully rotate and pull the camshaft out of the engine block.

CAUTION:
All camshaft journals are the same diameter, so care must be used in removing or installing the camshaft to avoid damage to the camshaft bearings.
