    Sorry if there is a thread somewhere, the site keeps throwing an Error every time I use the Search.

    I am looking to Rent/Borrow or even Buy an exhaust cam holder tool. I was able to get my Intake cam bolt off but the exhaust side is not budging. I’ve tried getting the T- belt tight, using a rubber holding strap and I just can get the leverage to break bolt free.

    I’m in Vadnais Heights but willing to meet anywhere within reason around the cities and beyond.

    Any chance you can figure out specifically which ones you need? I'm pretty sure I have (almost) all of the Company 23 ones sitting around here. Can absolutely just borrow them as long as they come back.

    Aren't there flats on the cam for a wrench? I know there are on phase 1 DOHCs.....

    I just need the exhaust cam holder, the flower pattern one.

    I didn’t think to grip the cam itself, I’ll see if there are flats on the shaft.

    if you have them to lend I’d be happy to leave you with some sort of deposit as good faith. What part of the cites are you in?

    I'm north of the metro a little bit (East Bethel area) but work daily (5-330 M-Th) in Fridley. Also have Fridays off so could meet up (or possibly deliver) then if it's more convenient.

    I can make a Fridley loop happen tomorrow if that can work. I usually take lunch around 1.
    I’ll send you a PM
