Has anybody had any trouble removing the shims??. I have the special =
tool attached holding the valve open, the cam lobe away from the shim, =
the slot in the bucket in the correct position and clearance between the =
cam and shim. Will the shim come out : NO !!!. It shows a pretty =
picture of someone taking it out with ease in the manual, but not for =
me.
I have tried a small amount of petrol on it to try and break the vacuum =
seal of the fully synthetic oil between the shim and bucket and feel =
that heat is a bit drastic. Any ideas ?? Anybody else had this problem =
and solved it ?? The special tool leg is not touching the shim, only the =
bucket edge. Any tricks of the trade ?? - Thanks in advance - Nick.=20
