The area I am unclear on is how to actually get the cam out. I've read of people dropping the subframe and doing all kinds of wild things. How do you actually do it?

pull the rack towards passanger side after unbolting it, to remove the harmonic balancer with a pulley kit then pull the cover then take off the cam sprocket and timing chain then cam plate cover then take the cam out. Make sure the lifters don’t fall in side when it’s out or your totally F*****.

From my investigating the worst thing with cam install is removing radiator, etc and moving the R&P to get access.
