Topic: Help! I can't remove the cam chain sprocket

[Jore]

Hi folks, I'm trying to remove the head on 400, as of now I'm stuck trying to remove the cam chain sprocket, every time I try to undo one of the bolts the whole cam turns, so that's my dilemma, is there a trick to tacking those bolts out and not have the whole thing spin around?

Thanks!

You could engage 5th or 6th gear and lock the rear brake on.

Yup. If you're by yourself, thread up the rear brake adjuster until it locks the rear wheel, and use a high gear as mentioned.

The engine's already out f the bike, can I just use the gears then?

Yes,just lock the drive sprocket with some wood or something.
