Rotate the eccentric shaft, via the hexagon, to reduce
the amount of tension on the torsion spring.
Fit a cable tie to the spring and pull back slightly to lift
the spring off its roller and then allow the spring to
move slowly forward and passed the roller, to relieve
the tension.
IMPORTANT: Rotate the eccentric shaft, at the
hexagon provided, to minimum stroke position -
turn fully clockwise.
WARNING: Risk of injury and engine damage -
This part of the application involves the removal
of the camshaft carrier bracket and inlet camshaft
assembly which incorporates heavy torsion
springs under compression. This should not be
attempted without the use of the specialised tools
in 1461/C15 Kit, and the service procedure should
be strictly adhered to.
D816 Inlet Camshaft Securing Tool (Front)
D817 Inlet Camshaft Securing Tool (Rear)
Securing tools D816 and D817are used to retain the
inlet camshaft to the carrier bracket assembly when it
is being removed from the cylinder head.
Fit D816 Camshaft Securing Tool (Front) onto the front
of the inlet camshaft ensuring it locates fully and
correctly onto 'lip' of the cylinder head and secure in
place with its locking screw fully screwed in to the
internal thread in the end of the camshaft.
Fit D817 Camshaft Securing Tool (Rear) on to the back
of the inlet camshaft by screwing its locking bolt into
the internal thread in the end of the eccentric shaft
(pinch tight only at first) and locating the 'domed' nut
attached to the end of its locking screw, in to the large
countersink of the hole in the rectangular section in
the rear of the inlet camshaft. Tighten the 'domed nut'
screw, by hand, to 'lock' the tool onto the camshaft.
Tighten the locking bolt into the eccentric shaft.
