Camshaft removal on DOHC 4 cylinder engine Sign In

Patient is a Mercury Mystique. In trying to remove the camshaft closest to the radiator it won't come out. The bearing caps are loosened but to no avail. It just won't budge. Please advise. Thanks.

Did you take the gears off the front of the camshafts?

What are you using for service information?
