Same tool to remove them and put them in.
Why don't you run a chain through that furd and use it as an anchor?
How do I get the old ones out? Do I need the tool for that too? Any special shit I should know. never done this before. Machine shop always did it for me.

Don`t laugh. I might just do that!
Hoss, taking them out is EZ....Any punch combo that will walk them out is fine. BUT, installing them is quite different. There are tools made to install them, although I usually make a brass or alum plug that fits nicely, with a step to drive the shell and a threaded hole in it to attach a piece of all thread, and tap them in. They must line up with the oil holes in the block, and be very square to the cam. I use an old cam to make sure they're straight. After installing the new ones, the cam should turn easily without any hard spots. Beware that SOME motors cam bearings are graduated in size front to rear, Although I'm not sure on your Ford.......Moneypitt
Snap on tool works great.

hey Hoss. if you dont have the cam tool, id suggest taking the block to a machine shop and have them do it for ya. here in cali you can rent em at some automotive stores, not sure about your area. too bad your so far, ive got one you could use, but to send it would cost alot more than renting one or having it done. good luck and remember, KEEP THAT ENGINE CLEAN INSIDE !!!

Buy a set of bearings and follow the "map" on which bearing goes in which hole.
Line the oil hole up with the hole in the main cap. Regardless if there is a groove or not.
