I got the broken piece out one quarter came free and a Phillips #2 and I was able to twist and pull the rest out. It's slick but I now know it has a problem . I have my doubts now about the Comp Cams Hex Adjustable timing set.The ease of seting the timing is not a close to fare trade off for strength.You still have to take the whole front apart. It took at least three hours not to mention gaskets= thremostat coolant pump timing cover and
oil pan gaskets. I can't get the pan off without removing the engine.So I'll repair the damaged area of the top
oil pan gasket w/ blue RTV.I now vote for reliability everytime.I'm going with the recamended seting and probably never mess with it again.
