the bolt size on my 95 was 24mm and you need a 1 in open end wrench to hold the cam when you break the bolt.

15/16" is the same, you might need a 1-1/16" wrench as well, the castings on the camshafts are pretty rough.

A 1" worked perfectly for to hold the camshaft when I took the sprocket bolt out--the 1" actually needed to be tapped in a bit to grasp the nut, which made a real secure lock. I can't see 15/16" working. Have a torque wrench too, one that goes up to 130 lb/foot...You'll need someone else to hold the wrench and you'll need an extension for that wrench; 130 lb foot is a helluva lot of torque. :eek:

I 'm sorry I meant a 15/16 socket for the cam bolt is the same as the metric size.
