• Q: How to Safely Extract the Camshaft from an Engine on 2007 Jeep Wrangler?

  A: The process begins by disconnecting the radiator and then the cooling fans and only then you should remove the cylinder heads. After that, take out the timing chain and camshaft sprocket, disconnect the retainer (1), remove the hydraulic lifters (4) and mark each tappet so you restore it to its original place. The next step is to take off the camshaft thrust plate (1). You should remove the camshaft steadily to prevent it from damaging the bearings. Before removal, place a long bolt into the front of the camshaft and carefully lift the camshaft out. The camshaft bearings require service during engine block work.
