Removing the camshaft drive gear (A) 1P-0820 Hydraulic Puller (12) 4W-4586 Plate
Use tooling (A) to remove camshaft drive gears (5) and (8) .
Install the three 5H-1504 Hard Washers behind plate (12). This plate holds the camshaft drive gear on the camshaft. Install plate (12) and bolt (11) on the camshaft.
Do not apply more than 41,340 kPa (6,000 psi) of pressure to 1P-0820 Hydraulic Puller. 8B-7559 Adapters are rated at 5 ton each and 1P-0820 Hydraulic Puller is rated at 17 ton at 68,900 kPa (10,000 psi). If too much pressure is applied, the gear may be damaged.
Use the 8B-7559 Adapter and needed parts from the 8B-7548 Push-Puller Tool Group to install the 1P-0820 Hydraulic Puller on the camshaft drive gear. Apply 41,340 kPa (6,000 psi) to the puller and tap the screw until the camshaft drive gear is free of the camshaft taper. Remove the tooling and the camshaft drive gear from the camshaft.

Camshaft timing (13) Timing pin
Remove timing pins (13) from the storage positions which are located under the rear camshaft covers on each side of the engine.
Turn the camshafts until timing pins (13) can be installed through timing holes and into the grooves (slots) in the camshaft.
Use the following procedure to install camshaft gears (5) and (8) :
For correct timing, the timing bolt must be installed in the flywheel and all gear clearance (backlash) must be removed. Turn the camshaft drive gears in the same direction as crankshaft rotation and hold in this position.
Pin both camshafts and put the camshaft drive gears in position in line with idler gears (6) on each camshaft taper.Note: Make sure that the gear tapers and the shaft tapers are clean, dry, and free of lubricants.
