Looking for some advice on how to change the electromagnetic VTC gear on my Stagea. Passenger side has failed, with the spring snapping and part of the casting broken off. I have obtained a new replacement but want to know if this can be changed without having to drop the entire front timing cover etc. I read on this thread that it could be done but there was no detail on how to do. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/340012-clickingrattling-noise-when-engine-rev/page-3?hl=%2Bactuator#entry7355857 Attached is a picture of part in question. Any advise greatly appreciated guys.

Hi Scotty, I have a failed passenger side actuator which I need to replace. You mention that this can be changed without disassembling the engine if you are very brave, so was wandering if there are any tutorials or guidelines on how to do this. i would be extremely grateful for any advice on this.
