No, the cap has two philip (sp) head screws, the unit is held in by a 9/16 or 14mm bolt.

I use a 1/4" drive 9/16" swivel socket.

if its just the cap a phillips , sometimes you have to unplug the coolant temp sender , sometimes its in there wrong and you have to rotate the sensor body

i use an old school matco distibutor wrench for the hold down bolt since thats really what it is ..

if you have to remove the cam sensor body or spin it youll also want to read this link on how to install and adjust a cam sensor

and the caspers cam sensor tool makes things easier but a volt meter will work as well
