pin in cam Help

[Anonymous]

I need to get the pin out of the old cam to put it in the new one. Can anyone tell me how to get it out?
Thanks John

Just bite down on it and pull....... :x


They usually come out pretty easily by just grabbing it with vise grips, pull and twist. Don't forget to keep the spacer behind it.

John, The pin comes out a little easier if you heat the area of the camshaft around the pin.

In the event you damage the pin the pioneer line carries the pin in their inventory.William

PART #PF200-25 THE DIMENSIONS ARE, DIAMETER .255 BY .314 IN LENGTH. THE COST IS $.58 DEPENDING WHERE YOU PURCHASE THE PIN.

I second this. I made that mistake once, but noticed it before it was too late (the came and crack were not lining up).

I used a portable propane torch to heat up the old cam shaft a little bit and was able to pull it out with some vice grips.
