2012 C30 rear camshaft cam sensor plate Removal C70 2012

Gentlepersons,

Just picked up another C30, a home mechanic's C30 for a song. 115K on it but alas, his timing belt swap was a semi disaster, yes, I'm looking at replacing 10 or 20 valves, not sure which yet. This is the B5254T7 engine. So, how does one get the cam timing cam plate off the end of the camshafts that are used for the cam position sensors?

I tried the T30, wouldn't fit, went to the T27 Torx and tried removing the center bolt counter clock wise. That sucker wouldn't budge right up to where the T27 snapped.

I'll take any ideas as I'd like to find out if it is 10 or 20 valve bent so I can decide between a new used head or rebuilding this one. I should be able to use the cam lock tools once that sensor cog is off the end of the shafts.
