First teardown
 

Ok, I just began my first teardown, on an unknown condition aluminum 2.0. Finally got the camshaft nuts off today. I now have a broke knuckle, smashed finger, cut on my left arm; and feel great! That wrench is just bad design, slips way too much. Anyway, thanks Pelican for a great forum, and everyone who posts here.

I remember when I tore mine down. What a great experience. Didn't notice the cuts and oil until some time later.

Funny, I didn't either, the wife did!

From an previous thread:

"A far better tool than the 46mm crowsfoot is a 1-13/16" 3/4" drive socket with the 3/4" square drive featured bored out so tool P202 will slip down inside. A 3/8" to 1/2" square drive adapter is welded to the side of the 1-13/16" socket to provide a drive feature (a 1/2" breaker bar is typically used). This tool is far less awkward than the official crowsfoot tool and doesn't spread open under load. I helped a friend break free a very stuck cam nut earlier this week with this tool set-up. We had to slip pipes over the handles to obtain sufficient leverage and easily applied over 250 ft-lbs before the nut released. Jim"

Jim, as always you have the good info. I saw that thread and figured I would try the "proper way"(dumb idea), besides I'm not that good a welder yet.
