Front cover on a 3406e

I'm starting to tear out the front end to change front cover gasket and went go Peterbilt to pick up gasket kit and they told me that I also need to change a wear bearing when I take off the cover and that I need a special tool and if so where can I get this tool at or Is there another way to change it or do I even have to change it? Thanks

 

Well the plate from the timing ate to the block but they sold me the hole front asembly kit. Plus I was gonna stick the cam in while I have all apart. My plan was if the gear wasn't wore I wasn't gonna change it. Thanks alot there jas helps alot. At least in make me feel better about it anyway

 

Well kinda bummed just went to perterbilt to pick up some parts and started talking to a mechanics and he says I do need a tool to change the front seal and wear bearing as it needs to come off to get to the front cover gasket b the block. No one rents it and cat wants 400 bucks for it plus frieght and it would take them 2 to 3 days to get it and now I would have to wait till Monday. Can I do with out it? I got the front apart and am gonna start to take the front cover off tomorrow. Any body got any tricks or ideas if not guess I gotta wait till Monday

 

Got my truck back together with no leaks and ruNning good had to call a cat tech tocome out and install the front seal and wear bearing got the cam in to Man it feels strong Going to get my first load today

 

Thanks. I used the 800hp cam 10r-7155
