There is a procedure in the fsm that uses a multimeter and the ecu to set the vvel at neutral position, then clock the sensor until it outputs the correct voltage.

this was my understanding as well. the mechanic who works on my car used to work for nissan and has worked on many VHR motors. they
never take the VVEL cam out of the ladder, and you reset the vvel sensors using a multimeter or scan tool after re-installing them.
now I'm sure that doesn't mean you cant remove the VVEL cam, but nissan does not recommend it, and really theres no reason at all to do it.
