Default Camshaft Puller?
I think I read a thread a while back that said something about a camshaft puller do they exist?

I believe it was just a handle that 3 openings for the camshaft screws. Then you would use it to install or take out your camshaft.

Most people I know (including myself) just thread a water pump bolt into the cam and use that as a handle

That's what I hear most people do, but I want to make a bet with a bud that they exist for 20$
