Access to rear cam seal (exhaust cam)?

Post by iRenaissanceMan »

I'm working on replacing my front exhaust cam seal. However, I need access to the rear to "lock" the cam w/ the cam locking tool. I've taken a lot of things apart to gain access including the engine mount and sway bar. However, I'm stuck at the next removal. I'm not 100% certain how to get to the rear exhaust cam so that i can lock it. I have this big metal bracket in the way. I see there are 3 bolts, but i'm not 100% certain that's going to release the bracket. Actually, i'm not even sure it's a bracket! Can someone help confirm i'm supposed to remove the 3 bolts??

Thanks!

remove the 3 bolts and it will come off, use a screwdriver or pry bar, there are also 2 guide pins that line this bracket up that stay in the block
