Z650 cam bucket

[Mark W]

I am rebuilding the engine on my z650 and some of the valve clearances needed to be adjusted,using the valve grinding suction pad worked until number two inlet bucket.I can’t seem to even get it to move is there a trick to get this one out or just leave it in ( it’s only one size shim out )

Magnet and rotation at the same time.

Had a go with the magnet but still no joy, can’t get it to spin either,might put the cams back in and turn over a few times to try and get it to break free.

Thanks Warren success, it involved a magnet and tapping with a socket and 20 minutes later out she pops thank god.Checked all the clearances and all within spec,now onto rebuilding the carbs after cleaning all the black spray paint off
