    It's page 3-9 in my service manual and a different picture, but they have the same technique shown. It was many years ago that I last removed the cams (March 2005 according to my 1100E notebook) and I don't recall ever using a set of vise grips on a camshaft, but who knows? A lot of time and bourbon/tequila/rum/gin have passed by since then.

      I would super glue a piece of leather to the Vice grip jaws so as not to tear up the head where they make contact. I wouldnt worry about the cams though.

      NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
