LT1 cam swap?

Ok, put the skinny bolts (3) thru the crank and put nuts on them. The puller has a long threaded "bolt" going thru it. This should push on the Crank BOLT that was already there. Make sure the bolt not tight, or you will defeat the entire purpose of the puller.

I'm tryng to think what sensor, but I can't seem to picture it. I mostly build or work with OBD I and we have no stinking sensor. Though I have worked on many OBD II's I can't picture it right now. Besides, most guys I know have already removed them.

You can rotate the consensor out of the way being careful not to pinch the line with the corner of the condensor. Support it with a breaker bar or whatever. Here are a couple pics I took during my cam change. I also had to remove one bolt from the hood latch and rotate it out of the way. I needed that extra 1" to get the cam completely out.

Not to hijack the thread but how exactly do you put the hub back on to the crank, i'm terrified of accidently stripping the crank. is their an easier way? I put some oil to lube it up but their is no go on the crank or the pulley please help
