Try some of the parts houses that sell aftermarket cams to see if they have any OEM pulls for sale.

probably putting it in or taking it out. In my earlier days I didn the same thing on a nissan. I was trying to be slick and pull it without pulling the timing belt off.

The Tech Info Center talks about cam removal and how easy it is to snap a cam shaft without the special tool. Apparently Wayne has a method that works without the tool.
