I am going to change my CAM seals and I wanted to know if a puller was required for the sprocket?

Im Interested
I was thinking of doing this also. If you can, take pictures and let us know how hard or easy it is. Step by step instructions would be nice too..

Your biggest problem will be holding the sprocket while cracking the bolt loose. After that it's a piece of cake - no puller needed.
I don't know what your plan is for removing the seal, but I usually use a 1/8" drill bit and carefully drill a hole in the old seal. Do not scratch the camshaft with the drill bit. Then insert a hook or 90° pick into the hole, using a pair of side-cutters or pliers to grip it while prying against the cam snout. Be sure to lube the new seal before installing.
