To remove the nut so I can get the gear off to replace the cam seal etc..

http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/164...nging-164-cam-pulley-oil-rings-oil-seals.html this link shows the factory wrench to hold pulley. You need a 22mm or 7/8" socket to remove nut while holding pulley with spanner wrench. then you need flat puller like my homemade one to pull rear hub off cam. Use can use it on front one too.

Thank you for the info..
I did read this, my problem is what can I use to hold the cam gear to loosen the 22mm nut without the factory wrench..

You need a two legged spanner similiar to factory wrench to fit holes in pulley that has lever for leverage so you can hold gear firmly.

You may have to manufacture something as Craig in AU did. He posted pix of one he made.

I have the factory tool and I have one of these: Camshaft Injection Pump Sprocket Pulley Holding Tool - eBay (item 250779750428 end time Mar-27-11 20:05:09 PDT)
The ebay one works well (or one like this, wherever you find one). Mine is made by Astro.

I've seen that at Harbor Freight Tools and sometimes in the 'free' loaner tool inventory at some of the auto parts stores. Print a copy to show to the counter people; much easier than trying to explain.
