theakerstwo Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 You have a thrust plate with two bolts holding it to the block just behind the gear. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42025-cam-removal/#findComment-306001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbiegumbie Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 im working on an e7 etech and im having the same problem. I have the lifters held up with magnets and the eup's are out and the rollers for them and I have the two bolts out of the thrust plate on the front. It just wont move. I've pryed, pulled, I whacked it with a dead blow thinking it might free it up but nothing. it just wont slide either way. the back of the camshaft doesn't have anything does it? Hope not, thats inside the bell housing. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42025-cam-removal/#findComment-307396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 With out the special MACK tool to do it alone , generally take two people without it, according to my MACK tech. Don't know 100% as I've never done a V-8.

Popular Post turckster Posted October 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2015 E-6 and E-7 cams take 2 people to remove without the cam removal tool. One person below with a pry bar (to support the rear of the cam) and the other to slowly pull it out. On an e-tech engine the cam weighs about 90 lbs (with gear) so having the removal tool is almost a must. It can be done like the others but it is a pain. Usually if a cam will not budge then a lifter somewhere is still too low. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42025-cam-removal/#findComment-307420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbiegumbie Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 It was a lifter hanging. I made some magnet sticks to hold them up and one had let go. Once they were all suspended on the magnets, it slid right out. Thanks for the info!
