14 Remove the rear cover (C1), complete with seal (C3).
15 Fit the camshaft guide (D1), GE50017, to the gear case. Do not tighten the bolts for the guide at this stage.
Note: It is necessary to install two pilots, GE50015, on the rear end of the camshaft. The second pilot will
support the rear of the camshaft as it is moved from the cylinder head and into the guide, GE50017.
16 Install a pilot tool, GE50015, into the threaded hole at the rear end of the camshaft. Then attach the second
pilot tool, GE50015, to the first.
17 Withdraw the camshaft until it enters the bore of the camshaft guide. Tighten the bolts which retain the
guide on the gear case.
18 Use the lifting hooks, GE50025, to move the camshaft toward the front of the engine.
Caution: During use of the lifting hooks do not raise the camshaft; the camshaft should be supported by the
cradle, GE50018. If the camshaft is raised, damage to the camshaft bearings can occur.
19 Withdraw the camshaft from the cylinder head just enough for a strap and hoist to be attached. Attach a
suitable strap and hoist to support the camshaft, ensure that the camshaft is kept level and withdraw it from
the cylinder head. The camshaft weighs approximately 39 kg (85 lb).
