SubOperator Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 This happenned during EZ3.0 refresh (headgaskets, etc). Heads were taken off and during the reassembly one of the pins that positions camgear on the camshaft went in(don't know the details on how exactly it happenned). Two pictures attached show the normal one and the one with pin sunk. Drilling out did not work. Is there a non-destructive way to pull that pin out and keep the camshaft? May be a Subaru special tool? Or new camshaft is the only option? Any help is appreciated! 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 249K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 272K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K
GEE-OTTO Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 You drilled that pin, put a small screw in and tried to pull it ??
Wheelbuilder_25 Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 If it isn't in tight, a drop of grease on the end of a q-tip ? Something seems odd to me about it slipping in. How would you put the cam gear on without bumping it in by accident?
SubOperator Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks for chiming in guys. I have no access to this motor, it was a picture that someone I know shared with me asking for advice. From what I know the pin is there pretty tight and they were unable to drill it out or grease it enough to knock it out/pull it out. They tried heating the shaft while spray cooling the pin hoping that would allow them to pull it out. Even spot welded something to the pin and tried to pull it out still to no success. It is unfortunate since the guy successfully rebuild few EZ30 before without any issues. From what I know he ordered a replacement camshaft, that's where its at now. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 249K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 272K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K
