combined with my crowbar we might just be able to smash enough stuff to make this work!

The only tool you have to have is the cam block. You can use an approximately 1/4 to 5/16 drill bit (use the solid end) for the flywheel pin. The female torx bits are standard Lisle parts. The secondary tensioner tool is not necessary. The primary tensioner tool is just a pin like a mineature screwdriver or drill bit. The sprocket rotator tool is definitely helpful but not essential. The pressure tester used to measure travel is not necessary if you do it right. I have done it three times, the first time with all the special tools and the second and third times with only the cam blocks.

I mentioned before I have a set but not at my present residence, Talk with FredK, I think he has a set.

He replaced the HG on his S50 prior to selling it if I remember correctly.

I still have the S50 and the tools, but no time to help out right now. :(
