the internal camshaft components and the sprocket must also be correctly aligned when being fitted.
The Laser 8956 kit has been designed to allow removal, fitting and alignment of the sprocket using force
screws to ensure the camshaft is not pulled or pushed within the cam cover.

Component B, Reaction bolt: Used
to allow the puller to push against
the camshaft and refit the sprocket.
Component C, Sprocket remover:
Screw component B in to the
camshaft as far as it will go by hand
(see figure 4). Mount the sprocket
puller C so the force screw pushes
on the head of bolt B and the legs
hook into the sprocket, as shown
infigure 5:
While holding the cross beam of the puller so the leg remain in contact with the sprocket, turn the force
screw with a 17mm spanner to pull off the sprocket to touch the head of B. Slacken the puller, back off
the reaction bolt B and repeat the above process.
Fitting the sprocket: Place the sprocket on the
end of the camshaft by hand and align the sprocket
using alignment pin A. With the reaction bolt B and
a suitable 13mm spanner press the sprocket back
on to the camshaft. Hold the sprocket from turning
using a suitable holding tool; where possible keep the
alignment pin in place to help ensure the sprocket
does not turn on the camshaft. (see figure 6). Once the
reaction bolt B bottoms out in the camshaft remove it
and complete the fitment using the OEM fixing bolt.
