Intake sproket

[1995 brian]

Im going to be replacing my cas in my 95 gst and was wondering if anyone knows how to take the intake cam gear off.

First, the timing belt will of course need to be off. Then take the valve cover off and (I think) between cylinders 1 & 2 there is a hex (like the head of a bolt) cast around the camshaft. Put a wrench on this hex. Then put a 17mm socket on the bolt in the center of the gear, and turn the wrenches opposite ways. After that, just pull the gear straight off, replace the CAS, and reinstall the cam gear.
