Reread the link you posted. It says hold the cams with a large adjustable wrench.

The cam gear bolts themselves are 17mm but I think the hex on the cam was roughly 1 1/8" or 28mm. Im not sure, its been a while since I installed my cams. Your best bet would be to buy an adjustable wrench.

Sorry my bad .... just use what they say or measure it.

1 1/8th" I believe. I had to use an adjustable wrench with nearly a 2ft breaker bar and the same length bar on the breaker bar for the bolt.

Be prepared to exert some physical force to get it off

I used an impact gun Just make sure the cam is secure and held in place..you don't want the impact gun to spin the cam and end up with some bent valves.
