I need to pull the cam to replace valve seals. Does anyone have a lead on where I can get a tool, plans to make a tool, or a way I can do it with out the tool?

what tool are you looking for? Is it the valve spring tool?
I found a link for this one:

nope, I have that tool. it compresses the rockers all at the same time so the cam can be removed. Unless I'm missing something and can disassemble the rockers and not actually have to take the cam out?Comment

Well you can disassemble the rockers w/o taking the camshaft out but you will have to take the rocker shafts out.
You need to take the rockers 1 by 1 and move them to the left/right(in the direction of the spring) and take out the safety clip that's keeping them over the valves.
Next you'll have to push the rocker shafts out of the head.You'll need a hammer and something cylindrical so you can keep hammering the shaft out
Make sure to mark the position of the shaft relative to the head and the order(cuz the one on the right has a hole for the oil pressure sensor).
Next , be sure to taka a picture or memorize the place of the springs and rings for the rockers.
If you need I can take some pictures.Last edited by Tzzantaru; 07-24-2013, 12:09 AM.Comment

Like this ....
I have them made on request but they're a bit over $100 at this point.Comment

Ok so I made a tool at work today but I'm pretty sure I screwed the pooch. Are the tabs pushing the rockers down supposed to be different heights? It seems like the valves hit each other befor I get enough clearance to get the cam outComment

Looks like you may want to redesign the tool so that it pushes one side down before the other, maybe alternate between intake and exhaust on which one gets pushed down first.Comment

and to do that, you'll have to take the head bolts out.Well you can disassemble the rockers w/o taking the camshaft out but you will have to take the rocker shafts out.
Because on the M10, it has notches cut into the rocker shafts to clear the head bolts.
Thus, most operations on the M10 start with
"step 1- remove head."
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george gravesComment

Nope , they don't.The head bolts go through just by the sides of the rocker shaftsOriginally posted by TobyB View Post
But yes , you have to take the head out in order to remove the rocker shafts.
You'll have to remove the distributor case in order to hammer the shafts out to the front of the head and I can't imagine a way to do that with the head still on.
I assumed he had pulled out the head , if that's not the case , well , my bad :DAttached FilesComment
