Warrior cam shaft replacement

[Cfpdscott]

So lately my 02 warrior has been making a grinding noise that comes and goes. I've recently been able to pin point it to the cam shaft bearing that's just behind the timing chain sprocket. I'm looking to make a winter project out of changing it this winter. I'm looking for info as to how to go about changing it out and should I replace the whole cam shaft or can I do just the bearing? Also is a hot cam worth the extra money when the rest of my motor is stock?

Grab a manual for step by step instructions. You won't know if it's just bearing or both til you take it apart. As for the Hotcam, they work great with a stock motor.
