I use a large screwdriver, magnet, small screwdriver and a 10mm square bar, bent and with the end ground verically so that it is about 7mm wide for about 20mm of the length.
It is very easy to use the large screwdriver to push the tappet down and insert the bar on the edge of the bucket under the cam. I use the small screwdriver on the edge of the shim to break the suction of the oil and the magnet to get the shim out.
Takes about 1 hour to do the whole job.
