Hey screen, is it possible that it works by another method? It looks to me that the legs must bear on the shim bucket.

Rotate the engine so that the valve is open. The bucket should be pushed right down. Try and install the tool so that the leg is over the bucket and tighten it down. Rotate the engine so the cam comes off the bucket, if the leg is positioned properly it will hold down the valve and you will get the shim out. You might need a (dentists) pick and/or magnet to get the shim out.

I haven't done this before but thats how I would approach it.

Let us know what happens,

Cheers,

Roden
