Timing Belt Cover
« on: October 08, 2012, 02:56:00 PM »
I cant get it off. I have removed all the bolts and I cant get the bottom ppiece off. Im trying to replace the waterpump myself and I cant get the belt off so I cant get to the pump. I have even removed the engine mount and jacked up the engine a little so its easier to get to the cover but it wont come off, I dont want to remove the pullies yet because I want to make sure I can get the cover off first. Am I going about this the wrong way?

If you're trying to remove the backing plate, it won't come off unless you remove the cam gears. It is not necessary to remove the gears or the backing plate to replace the water pump, it clears the bottom of the plate.
