Does yours have the long bolt or a rod that's threaded on one end? See my photo in an earlier post.

The one in my pic is the TC88 tool and it has the bolt. Is your pic of the 96 or the 88 tool? I don't know if Gary made them different or not or if some are mixed or matched.

Mine's the late-model tool. It seems like you'd need the smooth part of the rod (i.e. not a bolt head or threaded rod) on one end to shove through the puller section.

Are there any other tools needed to do a cam change on a TC96? Trying to gather everything I'll need to do this. Also; where's the best place to get the Torrington B-168 inner cam bearings? I see Georges Garage has them for $26 delivered.

Thanks

I think that's the only special tool you have to have unless you want to get a pushrods remover/installer tool or cam lock tool. You so need a good torque wrench that reads inch pounds and Ft lbs. Also I think j got my bearings for much leas online from Chicago HD.

That's a ridiculous price on those bearings! You can get them from HD for $15/pair MSRP (#24018-10), which is reasonable.

You will only need a bearing puller/installer, torque wrenches (in/lb and ft/lb), the usual tool list (Torx, Allen, sockets, etc.), bearings, and the usual sundry parts (gaskets, o-rings, etc.). If you're re-using the stock pushrods I would buy the Fuel Moto cam-install kit ($50) which includes the Torrington bearings. OTOH if you're using adjustables you should probably part-out the few gaskets and o-rings you'll need, as there isn't much needed. The pushrod kit should have the 12 tube o-rings included. You'll also need a bolt-cutter if you want to cut-out the stock pushrods to install adjustables.

Don't worry about the two special tools mentioned in the service manual. The sprocket-locking tool is unnecessary since to torque the two flange bolts you can simply have someone hold the rear brake while the bike is in gear. I can't figure out why you need the "alignment" tool to put the cams in the cam chest, although I suppose if you're not careful you could get the two cams out of alignment by jumping a cog while installing it, but if you're careful I can't see this happening.

You don't need to spend money on the cam alignment tool on the TC96. I used the cam plate do the exact same thing.

I just got my tool from Mr. Beatty, he sells the bearings also. Tool and bearings w/ shipping $ 109.00
