Make a fake name and pretend to be a toyota freeek and get on a toyota forum and ask....

Oooo, fun, ever used a slide hammer? same theory, cam lobe on a closed cycle so the lifter is down, either hook the lifter with something stong or if room allow`s, grag the top rim with pointy vice grip`s & pull up, push down & repeat till it come`s, if it dosen`t come the cam will have to come out & taped out from the bottem.
Sometime`s the base of the lifter will flare out making it almost imposable to remove them..

Have fun...

Hope that help`s.

Yep, Keep going, some time`s you get lucky & thay come easy, just keep working it. If it`s only a small lip on the bottom it should come out ok..

[zookster666]

ok will persist with it thanks for the help mate

[steak_knife]

No prob`s, hope it come`s from the top for ya.

[zookster666]

The best way to get the suckers out is with a "Lifter Puller".
