here is the link regarding the tool. There is a list of parts needed at the end of the thread. It's very simple to make, and a life saver. Bugs rules!

Here's a tool I made that worked well:

Of course, using a wrench on the flat spot of the cam would be easier. Just be sure to use sufficient padding where the wrench is pressing against the head.
The strapwrench is useful for many things - works great on the crank pulley, and on the drive shaft, etc.

27mm (also known as 1 1/16"). But you do need to cut a slot in a 2x4 to hold the end of the wrench (pushing against the inside of the fender) when you are applying torque. I would never try padding alone to protect the aluminum head; the whole reason you're using this tool is that you expect to be pulling pretty hard on the cam sprocket bolt.

Kragen sells that Matco tool under their PowerBuilt brand. You can order it online. Search through their specialty tools section, $17.26:

You can use the hex feature on the cams (under the valve covers, you have them off anyway) to take the sprockets off and to put them back on, I've done it that way also. But, the tool from Kragen is better.
