[QUOTE="KillNThrill24, post: 1081425, member: 16906"] Timing cover is a real PITA I found. O just lettin you know now the power steering pump is gonna give you a problem. Just grab a 10mm ratcheting wrench (provided you have one, a simple 10mm will work, just takes a lot longer) for that one bolt. You have no clue what I'm talking about now I'm sure lol, but when you get to it you'll be like ooo THAT bolt haha. Also a lot of people leave that bolt out. You don't have to, and I found it impossible to get it all the way out so It'll be going back in so I don't have to listen to it. Other than that... Just do the best you can to pay attention to what bolt you pulled from where, take ton's of pix, and you should be good man. I had my timing cover off in no time, with the use of a battery powered impact, and that's as far as I've gotten on my head swap LOL. the harmonic balancer will have to come off, just find yourself a longer bolt, and use a simple 3 tooth puller and go from there. That's what I did since I don't have a pulley puller. I have a grande grande grande 3 tooth lol. Also to crack that bolt you'll want an impact of some sort be it air or battery powered. You'll need that impact for the.... Can't remember the name of the pulley but it's the metal one with the 4 bolts in it. You'll need the impact for that as well. Just take your time and do get too pissed off and you should be fine LOL. The helping hand of a good reliable buddy or family member always helps. Just make sure they remember where they took that bolt out of! Goodluck! :) [/QUOTE]
