What Tools Are Recommended for Replacing Camshaft Bearings and How Do They Facilitate Camshaft Rotation on Jeep Cherokee?

The four bearings holding the camshaft are made of steel and babbitt and their sizes decrease toward the rear to ease removal and installation of the camshaft. Spline bearings are lubed with oil at high pressure which is why they need special equipment to remove and install them. The oil pump and the distributor drive gear keep camshaft end play in place by applying load to the gear and the helical cut assures that the thrust face stays lightly pressed against the cylinder block face.
