George:
To remove the cam bearings, you need a special sleeve, that is slightly
smaller than the hole in the block in which the bearings sit. You will
need a long shaft to then drive them out. To get the new ones in, you
need a stepped sleeve (smaller diameter, a bit less than the inner diameter
of the bearing, outer a bit smaller than the hole in the block.) You can
use the same device to both remove and replace the bearings.
Cheers.
