NOTICE:
Do not allow bolts or the shop towel to fall into the gear case.
Failure to remove loose bolts or the shop towel from the gear
case may result in severe gear train damage at engine startup.
17. Remove the three (current) or two (former) camshaft thrust plate mounting bolts carefully
to avoid dropping them into the gear case. Refer to section 1.22.2.
18. Reverse camshaft gear pilot tool J 35906 by turning it 180 degrees and install it to the
camshaft drive gear access opening using three of the access cover bolt holes. The J tool
number should face away from the engine and the hub end of the tool should be inside
the access hole. Tighten the three tool retaining bolts.
19. Engage the puller bolt in the threads of the camshaft drive gear hub until the bolt is tight.
Turn the bolt clockwise, pulling the thrust plate towards the front of the engine
approximately 6-7 mm (1/4 in.) until the camshaft hub contacts the J tool and the
perimeter seal is clearly accessible. The gap between the end of the camshaft and the
thrust plate should be wide enough to permit the perimeter seal to pass through.
20. Remove the number 1 camshaft bearing cap using socket tool J 36003 . See
