I was trying to avoid pulling the cam gear off first. However, I suppose its worth a look. I just don't want to make my life even more difficult by letting the chain slip. Is there also a key on the balancer as well?

Haha, my plan to confound your attempts to pay me for the sockets has worked!

In all seriousness though. I was able to borrow a dial gage and a compression tester from eskimo gratas. So have a Merry Christmas and enjoy your brighter taillights. I'll consider it a payment on my MB Shop karma.
