  3. Install three 8-1.25 x 100 mm bolts in the camshaft front bolt holes.
    NOTE: 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.
  4. Using the bolts as a handle, carefully rotate and pull the camshaft out of the engine block.
  5. Remove the bolts from the front of the camshaft.
