Removal of timing belt top cover
« on: 25 August 2012, 09:32 »
How do I get the top cover off? I'm really struggling, there must be a knack to it.  :embarrassed: It was replaced when I had timing belt done, so don't want to damage this one.

A clip each side then should just slide up and off :)

 :rolleyes:  Clips are off  :laugh:

The cover is loose, but I just can't bring it up more than half an inch before it snags.  Need it off as I need the cam on TDC to do the chain tensioner. 

Does it come off back towards the bulk head, or straight up?  Its almost as if I need the power steering reservoir out the way or something?

Thanks man.  I'll have another go tomorrow.  Got really frustrated with it earlier and don't want to break it!
