OK, I just figured out how to remove the pin from another thread (didn't see that the first time somehow). So the pin is out now - I'll finish the job tomorrow because it's late. Will I have trouble realigning it once the cover has been reinstalled? Also, I assume I just lightly tap it in flush with a hammer and then finish the rest of the insertion using the threaded allen cap?

One other thing - what about the camshaft position sensor? I'm assuming it just goes back in any which way? The reason I ask is that it doesn't appear to be keyed or anything, just sort of free-spins with slight "magnetic" resistance?

Any additional tips or tricks that can get me through this job would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!
