• Q: How to Safely Extract a Camshaft on 2009 Jeep Wrangler?

  A: Before removing the camshaft, you should first remove the radiator and cooling fans. Following this, take out the cylinder heads, pay attention to the timing chain and remove the camshaft sprocket. Then, take the yoke retainer and hydraulic lifters off the engine and remember which tappets belong in each part of the engine. After that, take out the camshaft thrust plate. As you take out the camshaft, move it carefully so you don't harm the camshaft bearings and place a long bolt into the front of the camshaft to help remove it. When done, remove the camshaft and make sure to change the camshaft bearings with the engine block.
