280SL cam pedestal removal
« on: February 07, 2018, 00:37:11 »
What is the location of the  8mm bolt holding each cam pedestal to the head? Head is now on the bench. What are the issues removing the cam and pedestals?

Should be obvious to see. One nut on each cam support. Located under the rocker arm.  You may need to remove some or all rocker arms first.
