No is the answer i replaced all 16 roller follows for a mate who over revved his engine. You dont have to completly remove the camshafts but u need to take the camshaft carrier plate off so you can jus lift the camshafts enough to slide the new followers under. U also need to remove the cam chain and timing belt to allow this to happen.
