Exactly what I was thinking. Rotate engine stand 180*, spin cam, pull cam, insert new cam. Rotate engine stand 180*.

I couldent turn the bolt even a little.. I ended up with a socket, an 18" breaker bar connected to a 3 foot cheater pipe lol. That did the trick!

yah it shouldnt turn over. Now if you impact guns are POS like mine..here is another solution,

Took the 24mm impact socket and put it on a johnson bar...layed the johnson on the drivetr side frame rail..and then clicked the starter.......turned it enough to snap it lose..impact from there...

Sounds kidna sketchy..but really jsut shocking the bolt loose
