Hey ya'll - so i didn't realise you needed to undo the bolts to get cam gears off while you still have the timing belt on....i know i'm an idiot. SO i put in one of the little bolts that hold the spring in the inlet cam gear thinking (completely stupidly) it would provide enough torque for me to undo the big bolt at the centre of the inlet cam gear (yeah we're talking about me being dumb enough to try to use a 7mm bolt to provide enough opposing force to undo a 3/4" bolt...anyone that sees me in the street, just slap me)
So as expected the 7mm bolt snapped off in less than a second and i'm left with a tiny 4mm diameter thread to extract. Anyway, after several attempts to use an ease out to extract this thing, it is well and truely f*cked. So if anyone has one of these lying around, don't let it go to waste. Sell it to me!!
I'm on the GOld Coast but will pay for postage of course. If you can get it to me by the end of the week I'll pay for express postage too.
Cheers
Dane
just so people know what sort of cam gear i'm talking. its the stocl inlet cam gear from an R33 Gtst with the VCT intact. Like the one above (mine's painted black and doesn't have any of the bolts in at the moment.)
