Oh wow, figuring they are prob made there that's quite a while... Maybe everyone wants one at once lol.

If you get a seal puller like the one below (should be common at any parts store) and cut off one of the hooks, it works great for getting the shims out. Hook under the cam shaft, and pry down on the bucket lifter, use a dental pick or something to pop the shim out. Way cheaper and easier than the SST. I used it on my 1HD-T and I think the 1HZ is the same...

Where are you located? Anywhere close to bay area, ca?

That is genius, I have been thinking something like this would work but haven't been around truck to try sense I discovered valves were out.
Thanks!

I'm not familiar with the sst exactly but this is what I use on Toyota buckets. It's from Snap-on Use the pliers to push down on the shim and bucket then use the little thin tool to hold the rim of the bucket down while you take out the shim.

 

[Dpcruiser]

I haven't tried the Snap On tool but I read somewhere it doesn't work (at least easily) on the 1 HZ.

Anyone tried it on a 1 HZ? Sure would be great if it did as they are easy to come by.

Cheers,

Sean

Ya I tried the Snap-On one first, but it isn't thick enough to push down on the bucket... I guess the cam is farther up on the 1HD-T than other trucks.
