Valve timing gear
The gears on the two camshafts (secured by nuts having left-hand threads) have to be
mechanically withdrawn and each has two holes drilled and threaded to accommodate
the two bolts of a bridge type extractor (part number 015374) which has a central bolt
threaded in the bridge. The two outside bolts are screwed into the holes in the gears
whereupon application of the centre bolt being screwed into the bridge bears on the
end of the shaft thereby causing the gear to be withdrawn.
The gear on the dynamo needs no extractor because the dynamo, complete with gear
assembled, is easily and quickly removed from the engine and the subsequent removal
of the gear from the dynamo shaft is a simple workshop operation.
