2TG rebuild questions

Hey guys, i am in the process of putting my 2TG together and have a few questions.
1. i put the cams in so i could measure the valve clearence gaps.
when i took them out again to measure the shims one of the buckets would not come out. i got 7 of them out with a magnet but the last one is very stiff. i have tryed pliers but cant get a very good grip on it. Is there a trick to it? or should it have come out? it was it bit stiffer than the others when going in, but worked fine when i spun the camshaft around.
i need it out because the gap was 20thou
2. does anyone know the valve clearence gaps for the 2tg?
(88260 head, 88261 cams). i have been lead to belive that they are:
8 for the inlet and
12 for the exhaust.
3. where do i get new/second, hand valve clearence shims from? toyota?
does anyone have a collection? they are alot smaller than other toyota ones that i have come accross.
Any help would be great.
sorry if my descriptions and technical lingo are dodgey.
Cheers Sean.

Rebuilding my 2TG... Haven't gotten as far as shims yet... 
As far as clearances, "T Series Engine Repair Manual (Jun., 1978)" reckons:
Intake == 0.24 - 0.34 mm (0.009 - 0.013 inch)
Exhaust == 0.29 - 0.39 mm (0.011 - 0.015 inch)
Hope this helps.
BTW: Stupid question - "thou" is thousandths of an inch (eg 12 thou is 0.012 inch), right?
