RE: cam shoe replace

The manual has a pretty good shot at the procedure. I would add to it , but I am at work now. You don't NEED to buy tools, but there are a couple that might make it easier. To hold the tensioner, they recommend one of their tools to rotate the tensioner and another to hold it. I rotated it with pliers and held it in place with an appropriate sized allen key. Have a look at this for more info and pix. http://www.harleyhog.co.uk/1550/bbonline.htm
