What tool do you guys use to install new camshaft bearings?
The new ones have very sharp edges so I guess they have to be installed in a gentle way.
I know there is a spec.tool for this,but it must be possible with a selfmade tool.

No, it isn't. Get the correct tool or risk screwing up your cam bearings.

Ok.

Does this one work?One tool can do all bearings.

Can't find it in Norway so I have to buy it in US.
Anybody know where to purchase them?

How do you remove the aft bearing.There is a ridge behind it so it have to be pulled out towards the front.

Google "cam bearing tool". You'll find many, including relatively inexpensive ones from Summit and Jegs. I bought mine used for even less. Knock out the freeze plug behind the rear cam bearing for access.

The one I have looks like this. The collets expand to fit the bearings tightly. The white plastic cone is for centering the tool. I believe mine is Lisle brand.

Here's a link to the Lisle instructions:
