How do I remove the camshaft timingbelt gear from the camshaft? Is the bolt left or right threaded? I have tried 1/2 impact and a brakeover bar with no luck. I see the hex area to hold cam in place, but still no luck. I am needing access to the rear head headbolt under the camgear to remove the head. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

your impact is puny. the cam sprocket is on there with about 100 ft/lbs. a cheap 250 ft/lbs impact aint gonna cut it. for example, the crank sprocket is on there with 120 ft/lbs, and my 600 ft/lbs impact just BARELY broke it loose.

Thanks... OK, I can live with that, but how about the rear head? I can't get an impact to the bolt due to the lack of room. Any ideas what I should do next to get to the head bolt?
