Advice on removing cam holder? Cheers

[droog]

Hi, hope everyone is doing ok

Just wondering if anyone has any advice regarding the removal of a stiff cam holder?

I'm removing the cams from my CBR600 for a re-shim - first time I've done this so I'm taking it super slooow and following the manual by the letter - I removed the cam holder bolts in correct sequence and a quarter turn at a time so the cam holder came up nice and evenly and wasn't subject to distortion.

All bolts out and the cam holder is wiggling about but is not lifting off - I've heard that this is not unusual as it's probably getting stuck on the dowels.

I guess my only option is to just keep wiggling the thing until it lifts off - as wedging a screwdrive in there and prying it off might damage it - unless anyone has a pro-tip on getting this thing off?

Thanks for any advice

UPDATE!

Got it off with a lot of wiggling backwards and forwards - took some time and patience but I didn't want to resort to levering it up with a tool or something because the general advice is that the cam holder is relatively fragile and should be treated gently.

A guy on the fireblades froum did use a screwdriver to pry it up - and I can see why he used that option because getting this thing off by hand took ages - but if you have the time and hit this problem I would personally try and get it off by hand and avoid sticking anything metal in there as the cam holder is fragile and expensive.

A broken cam holder would be fatal and you would need a new head as it is line bored fit. You cant swap holders between heads.
