Cams, hard to remove? Options

[5sfeTurbo]

I was wondering if anyone ever really knows how difficult it is to remove and then re-place. Im purchasing some junkyard cams of a 5s to ship them out to Web-Cams. I have the Chiltons bible book, but what scares me is my freind who has a world of mechanical knowledge was talking to me about this and all that sticks out was he was stressing how delicate the process is. Im becoming more and more familiar with the Celica and I read more and more and doing mods and such but internals is a new and dangerous venture in my mind. Just want to see the overall response to this kind of medling.

Cams are easy. the trickiest thing to do is remove the cam gear... which is UBER easy becuase inside the head, the cam has a flat spot for your cresent wrench (make sure you use a metric cresent wrench). other than that.. make sure you don't loose the valve caps or change the order of them, and follow the tightening order in the manual, its important not to pinch the cam at a funny angle.
