It shouldn't be that hard. This is the one we talked about a white back that was making noise a higher RPMs? Have you tried more than one? I have not used the tools you mention but both companies make good tools. I don't know if that is one of the tools that Kragen rents or not. Their tool rental is a good deal. You buy the tool ad if you get it back in 24 hours they refund all your money. Otherwise its about $6 a day. It sounds like the lifter is mushroomed and the bottom can't fit through the hole. If that's the case that cam lobe is probably gone too. Let us know how you make out.
