–  Loosen securing bolt for camshaft pulley and unscrew approx. 10 mm (use counterhold -3036-).

–  Pull off camshaft pulley using puller -T40001-, hook -T40001/6- and hook -T40001/7-. The puller -T40001- is supported by the securing bolt -arrow-. –  Remove securing bolt and camshaft pulley.

–  Lubricate threaded head of oil seal extractor -2085-, place it in position and, exerting firm pressure, screw it into oil seal as far as possible. –  Loosen knurled screw and turn inner part against camshaft until oil seal is pulled out. Installing –  Remove oil residues from crankshaft journal with a clean cloth. –  Tape over groove in taper of camshaft (e.g. using Sellotape). –  Carefully push oil seal onto camshaft journal.

–  Press in oil seal to stop using fitting sleeve -T10071-, thrust piece -T10353- and a washer -arrow-, use bolt -T10071/4- for this.   Note The thrust piece -T10353- is required for the length compensation of the bolt -T10071/4-.
