Q: How to Safely Extract a Camshaft on 2010 Jeep Wrangler?
A: The first step to removing the camshaft is to take the radiator and cooling fans out of the car. Then, remove the cylinder heads and then take out the timing chain and camshaft sprocket. Once you have removed the yoke retainer and hydraulic lifters, check to ensure you know the location for each tappet. After that, remove the camshaft thrust plate. To safely remove the camshaft, do so gently and fix a long bolt into the front of the camshaft to help lift it out. At last, very carefully remove the camshaft and keep in mind that the camshaft bearings are changed when the engine block is serviced.
