Continuing my rebuild of my 06 f150 5.4 and I have all the roller followers in place except for the one by the a/c drier. Unfortunately, I got deep into this and did not take to have the a/c discharged first. I have done everything with no problem with the a/c where it is except for this one step. Does anyone know of a way to move the drier a little bit out of the way to get the spring compressor tool in place? once I do that I am home free. thanks for any advice.

 

When I did mine I didn't use the tool, I just removed the camshaft entirely by turning all the journal cap bolts out a turn at a time so they evenly unloaded. Removed.the cam and replaced all the lash adjusters and cam followers then carefully sat the cams.back down and gradually tightened the caps back down. Just an option.

 

Thanks that is not a bad option...I would have to go through the timing process all over again but it maybe the best option.
