How to replace the left camshaft on 2005 Cadillac CTS?

The left Camshaft replacement starts with stripping away the upper Intake Manifold and lower Intake Manifold before proceeding to remove the left bank Camshaft cover and both Camshaft sensors along with the Camshaft position actuator solenoid. Apply the Crankshaft rotation socket (EN 46111) to rotate the Crankshaft until the camshafts achieve their neutral (low tension) position where the Camshaft flats run parallel with the rail of the Camshaft cover. Prevent engine Camshaft rotation by using an open-end wrench on the Camshaft hex bolt while unscrewing the Camshaft position actuator bolt without complete removal. Complete your installation of the Timing Chain retention tool (EN 46108) within the Timing Chain so it stays in position and apply firm torque to its en 46108 nuts. Note down both the Camshaft position actuator locations and Timing Chain position before unbolt the Camshaft position actuator bolt and removing the camshafts. When installing the Camshaft position actuator maintain alignment of its marks with the Timing Chain marks but avoid tightening the bolt yet. The camshafts should be positioned on the cylinder head before mounting the Camshaft actuators to the camshafts and installing both components with their respective bearing caps. Reinstall the Camshaft position actuators while using the open-end wrench to block rotation then tighten them fully. The process ends by installing the intake Camshaft position actuator solenoid together with Camshaft sensors and Crankshaft balancer followed by the Camshaft cover and the reassembly of upper and lower Intake Manifold.
