Help needed for inner cam bearings
do you have to buy the tool from Jims to remove and install the inner cambearings or is there another method. Can I use a bearing puller to remove and if so, then how do I get the replacements pressed back into the casing.

You will need a tool, but here's a more economical version. I have one and it works great.

RE: Help needed for inner cam bearings
I just bought that tool. Gary is very responsive and ships fast. I've received it but haven't used it yet, but it seems it will be pretty simple. Here is the email he sent me when I inquired about it:
I make this puller/installer in my home shop as a retirement hobby. I do engine work and needed a cheaper source of tools so I made my own. I put a wrench flat on it to keep it from turning while extracting the bearing. I used light weight aluminum billet for the sleeve, which is counter-bored to match the extractor ( so it won't move around when trying to line-up everything and get the washer and nut on, all inside the small cam compartment). I don't have a nice anodized finish on mine but they do what they are made for. I don't paint them either because it will just come off in the engine.
This is a combination TC inner cam bearing puller/installer. It uses the same remover finger bolt but with a newly designed sleeve that also acts as part of the installer by holding the installer straight with the bearing bore(like a piston in a cylinder). The bearing can then be lightly tapped in using the installer which has a steel rod threaded into it. The installer is designed to put the bearing in at the right depth without distortion. It works super fast with no plates to align or obstruct your view. You can feel and hear when the bearing is installed to proper depth. Fast and simple!
It comes with instructions and you can email me for more pictures if needed.
Prices include shipping( which I had to raise because USPS raised theirs May, 14, 2007).
TC '06(Dyna)-07 with 1.000" id inner bearing $112 ( plus $4 PayPal)
TC '99-06 with .875" id inner bearing $87 ( plus $4 PayPal)
EVO with .812" inner bearing $87 ( plus $4 PayPal)
Free shipping by USPS Priority Mail to lower 48 states. I use Priority Mail's boxes which are alot sturdier than their envelopes. Delivery time is 2-3 days. I will not be responsible for losses by carrier. Insurance is $3 extra if you want it. I accept money order, certified check or PayPal. PLEASE, NO PERSONAL CHECKS(they take ten days or more to clear) Please add $4 if paying with PayPal at beattygw@sbcglobal.net

RE: Help needed for inner cam bearings
The old tried and true method is to freeze the new bearing and tap it in with a socket/extension. I did this numerous times before buying the correct tools. I'm partial to George's tools from ebay. They are quality and not as expensive as Jim's.
