Reply To: Johnson QD-19 cam removal

[William Jatzek]

Shaft is not tapered in the cam area. Cam is just stuck on. Ideally it  should be snug fit but come off  with not to much effort. If you pry up on it try to do it from opposite sides in tandem at the same time. A little propane Bernz o Matic heat will help if you cannot do it cold. Only concentrate heat on cam. The cam may have a top and bottom orientation so confirm if it does if so someone could have put it on wrong before you.
