 +**Homemade bushing remover**: \\ 
 +The puller is made from 1" ID black pipe and 1/2"-13 threaded rod. You tap the flex head-puller head through the cam bearing. \\ 
 +The little nub puller with a collar that you knock into the bearing is made from 3/4" rod. Then screw the rod into the head to tighten the jaws. \\ 
 +Then place the collar over the rod and nut to start the pulling. \\ 
 + 
 +4 grooves were cut into the end for flex / compression to push through the bearing. \\ 
 +Then it was center drilled 7/16" and tapped 1/2"-13 and the slots were cut with a 3/16" end mill. \\ 
 +The threaded rod causes outward pressure on the jaws of the head when pulled.

 +These are typically knocked in with a commercially available long rod and a hammer. \\ 
 +Below are a couple homemade tools for installing the bushings. A knocking rod and a compression plate. \\ 
 + 
 +The knocker rod is made from 1" aluminum bar stock with a .030" shoulder to recess into the bearing, .030" into the case.

 +The compression plate is made from a scrap steel plate. The bolts screw in to push the bushings in place. See the [[techtalk:ref:tools107#reverse_engineered_cam_bushing_installer|build pics]] below by Hippysmack. \\

 I decided to make my own bushing installation tool since I have checked with the MOCO in three states and nobody has the one mentioned in the FSM for sale. A bushing hammer would have worked fine but I didn't want to beat the cam bushings in my engine. Besides, I wanted to use the shop. The plan is to make an installer, press the bushings in with it and ream the bushings thru a spare and molested cam cover. I'm doing this backwards from the FSM. Your suppose to ream the bushings to exactly 11/16" at a right angle, place the cover on the case half (which has been split from the left case half) and then ream through from the case half into the cam cover with a pilot reamer. I have a reamer that is 11/16" dia from one end to the other and the cutting blades are over 3" long. I decided to make my own bushing installation tool since I have checked with the MOCO in three states and nobody has the one mentioned in the FSM for sale.

   * My cam bushings turned out to be .005" out of service limit in the right case half. So, I yanked them out with the HF tool above.   * My cam bushings turned out to be .005" out of service limit in the right case half. So, I yanked them out with the HF tool above.

   * I bought a used cam cover off Ebay to reverse engineer an installation plate for the right case cam shaft bushings. I started by setting the cover upside down and tightening it down using the timing cover boss as a horizon or parallel to the face. I found center of the cover bushings and milled a smaller bit through to the outside of the cover.   * I bought a used cam cover off Ebay to reverse engineer an installation plate for the right case cam shaft bushings.
