hi there im looking for help my astra has been making a loud tapping noise so i flushed the oil system and replaced oil and filter but seems louder, i removed the plastic cover and got access to the camshaft and it looks like one part of the shaft has worn down more than the other parts and i think this is where the noise is coming from, how do i get the camshaft out to replace and hopefully get rid of this noise????

We do not have any diagrams for this vehicle ... your local library or autoparts store will be able to supply a repair manual with step by step instructions and diagrams for the repair !!
